Re: Oddity in Finder window in Catalina


 

Howdy.

I tried to find a reason for the two Mac HDs in Sidebar.

No idea unless you dragged them there yourself.

However, Right click each one and pick remove from Sidebar.

I'd then restart. You can add one back to Sidebar but check your
Finder Preferences>Sidebar and see what's checked and not checked
first.

p.s. One Google response on this topic was, "Is Macintosh HD a
Virus?" Yeah. Right.

Is there anything wrong with having duplicate icons like this? Is
there some way I should try to delete one of them, and how would I
know which one to delete. I¡¯m assuming, actually, that the Mac
wouldn¡¯t let me do it, because the portion of Macintosh HD that
contains the System IS read only.

Seems to me Apple hasn¡¯t really figured out an easily understandable
way to describe the immutable and changeable portions of the boot
volume in the Finder UI in Catalina.
