Managing Favorites in Edge

How to you move favorites into and out of different folders in Edge? Don't want to import.

 

Hello Dom, and welcome to Ten Forums.

You could manually do so in the folder below. *Smile

Thanks for your reply Brink. The link you supplied explains how to add or remove a favorite but those are not my issue. I need to remove a favorites folder that I accidentally dragged into another favorites folder. Thanks

 

Hi Dom,

Just go into the folder containing the folder you want to move and drag it into the 'Favourites' link at the top.

 

Thanks

 

Hi,

I have been trying to tidy up my favourites after importing Internet Explorer and Chrome. The link above is great because I have been looking for the folder for a couple days. However, when I start dragging and dropping folders around, the favourite actually disappear from my favourites list in Edge. I have tried re-importing the favourites but I cant seem to get them back. I can see them in the folder in the file management part but not in Edge.
Any ideas?
Thanks

 

Hello Chrisy, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Unfortunately, links added directly into the folder or moved around in the folder will not show in Microsoft Edge. They have to be imported instead.

To fix this, you'll need to use OPTION FOUR below to delete all favorites in Microsoft Edge, and start over importing them again. *Sad

After dragging and dropping something beginning with R from last on the list to where it belongs I closed the browser (Edge) and re-opened it only to find the link has gone back to last on the list. Interestingly in the local folder where the favorites are stored it is there in alphabetical order. Hmmm

 

You can drag and drop favorites from within the listed Favorites inside Edge to change the order how you like.

 

If you have manually dragged them and want them back in alphabetical order, how would you do that, short of manually doing it?

Thanks for any replies!

 

There's no easy built-in way to manually manage favorites in Microsoft Edge currently.

You could either manually drag and drop them to how you wanted, or delete all favorites in Microsoft Edge and import them from say Internet Explorer again. *Sad

 

I am only posting hoping that someone who can attend to this issue will take the suggestions under consideration.
I have browses where I can arrange, drag/drop and remove fav's . It is a very important function to me as I am always looking to a favorite to get to a specific site. I too find the inability to manage the fav's very troublesome to the point where I avoid Edge just b/c of this limitation. Let's hope enough people will provide feedback.

 

I realize that this thread is a few months old, but I was looking for how to manage my favorites within Edge also and during my googling I found this thread. In messing around with different things, I did figure out a way to move things around (which if I understood, is what some of the issues were talked about). Having a favorite in my Favorite's Bar for example, and want to move it into a sub folder. What I did was go the favorites then added my new folder. Then on each of the 5 links I had on the favorites bar, I clicked on the favorite link to bring up the page, then clicked the Favorites star and it allowed me to save it into that sub folder. Once I hit Save, it moved the link out of my Bar and into the sub folder (I didn't have to worry about it being in two places). It isn't quite as long of a process as I probably made it sound. I did 5 links in about a minute and a half. One other thing I did was click on my new sub folder then drag it up and dropped it on the Favorites Bar option, it moved the folder there and now it is on the Bar. Hope it helps.
