Issue

I have a file that I've slipped in the Finder sidebar and a duplicate icon has appear . When I click on one of them it will open the file.

When I click the other ...... nothing happens.

When I right click on it it tells me "open items in the sidebar"

I've run a clean up with Onyx, but the duplicate files still remain.

Solutions

Method 1:

Advantage: speed

Disadvantage: requires reconfiguring the sidebar: Move the file to trash " Home > Library > Preferences -> com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" Close your session

Restart your session

Method 2:

Advantage: removes only the duplicate icon from the sidebar

disadvantage: slower Make a right-click the file " Home > Library > Preferences -> com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" menu and choose "Open with ..." and select "Property List Editor" Expand the item "Root"

Expand the item "useritems"

Expand the item "CustomListItems"

Roll out item by item to find the one whose name matches the duplication that is to be eliminated.

Once the item is found, delete it by pressing the DEL key

I think you'll have to remove two items corresponding to duplicates

Exit the application "Property List Editor"

To the question "Do you want to save ..." answer "Save"

Close your session

Restart your session
