Remove "Other favorites" folder?
While I know that you can hide this "Other favorites" folder from the favorites bar by not placing any bookmarks inside of it... I am wondering why I can't delete this folder from Favorites? It's an...
My two cents (as usual).
Favorites dichotomy is rather well placed in web browsers domain from its inception (nearly). It might be seen from psychological point of view, as well. It'd be thought about as a primary set of favorite hyperlinks (Favorites bar) and a secondary (auxiliary) set of also favorite and saved addresses (Other favorites). Those unloved ones are simply not present, a very benign solution.
Really, it's not a thorn in an ...! You can see it, or not. Accepting reality betrays higher harmony with life. 🙂
BTW. Other favorites aka Other bookmarks can be very useful when recognized. I've always used them during my adventures with web browsers. Its footprint is so small (see my screenshot) that I do not understand why the battle for its removing (hiding).

It is a problem for some, and not a problem for some. I for example have to have web-browser or two constantly open in 3-column split view and due to my bad eye-sight, I have to have rather large magnify-factor in display settings.
In these cases, the other favourites bar takes half of the whole favourites bar and it is quite disruptive. However, luckily I found the solution of how to get rid of it following eliasabiadal's suggestion

- So, you did it, no need to inflate Edge. On the other hand your example is rather exceptional. The second bookmark set is complementary to primary and it is very handy in much more usual ways of working/playing/toying. It's not a hindrance even when not used. Anyway thanks for shedding a new glimmer of light to other demands.
My sincere regards- The other favorites is a ghost folder that you never created, maybe it comes from another devices, and with this folder it takes more time to view the favorites column from above (more favorites = more time to charge them).
