Browsing Tips: Slow-Loading Sites, Google Chrome Tweak

No problem, I figured. I'll just delete the folder. But after right-clicking it, I discovered that the Delete option was grayed out. Okay, then, I'll open up Chrome's Bookmark Manager and delete it from there. Nope, no soap, the folder couldn't be deleted. Nor could it be moved to a different location, one not occupying primary real estate in my Bookmarks bar.

Hey, Google, whatever happened to "don't be evil"?

After doing some digging, I learned that lots of other users have encountered this same hassle--for which there appears to be no remedy. Happily, I found one: if you delete every bookmark and sub-folder in the Other Bookmarks folder--in other words, empty it out--it will disappear from your Bookmarks bar. It did for me, anyway. Good riddance, evil folder I never wanted!

If you've got a hassle that needs solving, send it my way. I can't promise a response, but I'll definitely read every e-mail I get--and do my best to address at least some of them in the PCWorld . My 411: . You can also sign up to .
