I just removed two document folders from my Sidebar in Finder, and now I can't find them! Any ideas on where they could have ended up?
Thanks!

On Lion, items that cannot be removed from the sidebar are usually listed under "Devices" or "Shared" (there are Snow Leopard counterparts to these as well). If you'd rather not see these items in the sidebar, you can remove them by following these steps.
With Finder focused, visit Finder->Preferences or ⌘, and select the Sidebar tab.
Uncheck items that you don't want shown in the sidebar
SwitchUp can swap out the Finder preferences and let you manager multiple sets of these preferences, which can give you different sidebars. Watch the video on their website to get an idea of how it works.

Best Answer
The folders/documents in the sidebar are just shortcuts to the given folders/documents.
So if you just removed them from the sidebar they still are where they've been.
