[bug report] unwanted search folders cannot be deleted
« on: March 31, 2017, 02:48 AM »
After running FARR as administrator, I deleted the unwanted items in the "Search Folders" tab in the Options and saved the configuration. But after restarting FARR, the unwanted items remains existing (as shows in red rectangle). Does anyone else has this same problem?

They aren't real folders -- they are a new feature so FARR recreates the entries for them if it doesn't see them. The solution is to just UNCHECK them to have them be completely unused and have no effect.
