I'm not editing my own bookmarks. I want to remove the system provided links on the folder view sidebar to the following folders Pictures, Videos, Downloads, Templates, Documents. I just want Desktop and Home in the list. Someone told me earlier to edit the file user-dirs.dirs in .config. I did that and it worked great. Now since reloading the OS 20.04 that file just re-writes itself every boot with all the links present again. Also the answer with that suggestion of editing user-dirs.dirs is also missing from the forum.

1Does this answer your question? How do I remove 'Places' entries from the Nautilus sidebar? – vanadium Sep 21 '21 at 11:14

Ok. I had to open a terminal and change the permissions to 777 on the user-dirs.dirs file. That worked! Thank you to whoever posted this answer that now seems missing. Thankfully, I was able to remember it.

Using 777 permissions makes your system insecure. I don't understand what you were trying to do but this is not the way to achieve it – Zanna Sep 21 '21 at 05:33
