Unable to remove iCloud Drive from sidebar

[twist-shipper]

Hi, Robert.

This tool is wonderful, but at least as of Sonoma, it doesn't seem to be working to remove iCloud Drive from the Finder sidebar.

I'm able to get it to work with folders, but using the suggested syntax, sidebar.remove("iCloud"), doesn't work.

I also tried sidebar.remove("iCloud Drive"), to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much!

Hi!

I think Robert is not very active here. I'd suggest you to move your concerns to the repo for the finder-sidebar-editor pip library that I'm maintaining.

That said, sadly I currently cannot look into it as I no longer have access to a Mac computer so I cannot troubleshoot it.

However, it might be worth to list all the folders currently in the sidebar enclosing the results with specific characters to account for trailing characters. I think it'd be interesting to see how the iCloud folder is listed there.

Also, are there any error messages suggesting a failure when removing that particular folder? There shouldn't be any catched exceptions within the library so it's weird that it's failing silently.
