Quick way to delete Foldered bookmarks directly from Safari bookmark bar

bookmarkssafari

I like to group my bookmarks into Folders in the Bookmark Bar.

But I cannot find an easy way to delete these bookmarks!

The only way I know to do this is to go to Show All Bookmarks, then browse down to the shortcut and select it and delete it – this totally gets in the way of workflow.

Is there any way to delete a Foldered bookmark from the bookmark bar?!

NB – I am not talking about standalone bookmarks, deleting those is easy and intuitive.

Since it's a folder, hold down the Command and Option keys, then drag the folder off the Bookmarks Bar. You'll get a confirmation dialog saying "Are you sure?" Just click the Delete Folder button in the dialog.

Holding the Command and Control keys keys down gets you a contextual menu that allows you to edit the name of the folder, edit its contents (jumps you to the Bookmarks window to do that), delete it, copy it, and a few other things.
