Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Short description of error
Can't select/delete an existing Favorites Bookmark in the Blender File Browser if the path no longer exists on your OS. You have to recreate the path to enable select/delete again.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
To reverse this:
NOTE: A limited workaround was added some years ago (the 'Cleanup' option that will remove all invalid entries)

I can confirm.
This seems like a bad design issue.

This has been an historical limitation for ages (read, the beginnings of Blender). A limited workaround was added some years ago (the 'Cleanup' option that will remove all invalid entries), but yeah, making invalid entries selectable is another task...
I would rather consider that as a TODO than a bug though. @JulianEisel may also be interested by that topic?

Not only can these invalid bookmarks not be selected or removed with the expected interface, in my experience they cannot be jumped over when using the arrow up or arrow down keyboard keys with the bookmark list.
A work around: Use the "Move Bookmark" buttons to sort these invalid bookmarks to the bottom of the list. This could be non-trivial if many bookmarks become invalid for some reason (like a bad hard drive in my case).
Added subscriber: @DuarteRamos
Bookmarks are saved in a plain text file in the user preferences folder.
You can easily delete or manage them from there.
