Remove bookmarks in Nautilus

Question

I would like to remove the pictures, videos, and music shortcuts.

I have done some web searches and searches on this site but I have not been able to find an answer that works.

I followed some instructions (see link below), which involved editing these 2 files:

~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

/etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults

However, the shortcuts still show in nautilus, just further down on the list (underneath the trash).

I also see this solution but does that mean recompiling the operating system? How do you remove the desktop bookmark in Nautilus?

Have you tried deleting them from the trash? – Fabby Jul 04 '18 at 17:42 — Fabby, Jul 04 '18 at 17:42

I think you will just have to remove the file

~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

You can also edit the file and just remove single entries.

This solution worked for me if I also (as suggested in other answers) commented out ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and created a ~/.config/user-dirs.conf containing enabled=false – Hakim Mar 11 '20 at 17:06
