    Resolved [RESOLVED] Re:I.E.Folders

    Hello all, got a problem with "folders in the Latest Internet explorer."

    In Favourites, try to remove 3 folders I created for some information I wished to keep, but now want to Remove, when I try to remove, I.E. closes to desktop.

    Any ideas how to sort this??

    Thanks, Gep

    What OS/bit and which version of IE are you using?

    Assuming you're using Win7 or higher, why don't you just edit the folders directly?
    C:\Users\[username]\Favorites

    Internet Explorer and Edge are two completely different browsers.

    Like jdc2000 said, IE and Edge are two completely different things. That's why you need to provide the OS and app version from the start.

    Hello Midknte, JDC2000, I know how to add and remove in edge normally, but do not know how to remove ones that do not want to be removed. Not going to remove ALL my Favs etc just to remove 3 un-removable folders, will just hide them. Thanks for your help, Gep

    You don't have to delete everything, you can try just deleting the unwanted item(s). The links I posted show where the paths to the saved favorites folders are. If you can find them there, you can try deleting them there.

    Remember, Edge is still in development and you are a beta tester for Microsoft. There may still be unfixed issues with Edge.
