Hi, if you right click on it, there should be an option to remove it. If you want it back again, just right click somewhere in bookmarks - works in Windows, so hopefully will do in Mac. If you want to remove the extra separator that's left behind, point to it then right click > Delete.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
