System Information existent
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 445.75

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.82 (sub 7), branch: master, commit date: 2020-03-12 05:06, hash: 375c7dc4ca
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
If I delete or change the name of a directory that had been added to favorites in the file browser, I cannot remove it from favorites.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Add a directory to favorites in blender.
  2. Delete or rename the directory.
  3. Now Blender still shows the greyed out favorite item, but you cannot remove or modify it.

A workaround for removing invalid bookmarks is to use the Cleanup option (bpy.ops.file.bookmark_cleanup()), which removes any bookmark with a path that can't found.

Thanks for the report, but this is a known limitation, not a bug...

Note we do have a TODO open for it (also mentioning the workaround), will merge reports.
