Remove folders from left panel in Nautilus

Question

In the default file manager for Debian, how do I remove the folders bookmarked on the left panel? I have no use for most of the folders there.

Just in case someone finds this thread, I managed to do it following the guidelines listed here: Ask Ubuntu - removing bookmarks from nautilus sidebar

Modifying this file let me remove some useless folders (tested on Gnome 3)

<your favorite text editor> ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

That's right, but it was already linked to in Proletariat's comment. – Pierre B Mar 09 '17 at 12:23
@pierreB I see - sorry. Should this be closed as duplicate then? – olamotte Mar 12 '17 at 15:07
I wouldn't recommend editing that file, since other applications rely on it – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Feb 24 '19 at 04:48
