How can I delete links in the recently bookmarked folder that were saved to another folder without the link being deleted in the folder where it was saved?

more options

Regardless which folder I save a bookmark to it appears in the recently bookmarked folder also. I want to delete the bookmark from the recently bookmarked folder and leave it in the folder were it was saved. How do I accomplish this without the link being deleted from the folder where it was originally saved?

Chosen solution

No, you can't, because the Recently Bookmarked folder is really a search result from across all of your bookmarks regardless of the folder. (It should have a special blue folder with a magnifying glass icon on it indicating that it's a query.)

But if you do not want to see the Recently Bookmarked folder, you can stick it in a subfolder or delete it completely.
