Can’t delete favorites folder in safari

I’m trying to delete the favorites folder in my bookmarks, but when I press ‘edit’, the little red dot with a line through it doesn’t show up, and when I hold it there's no delete option.

Have you removed all the Bookmarks from the Favorites folder?

Safari favorites don't stay in their folders Hi! Since the last update, some of my favorites I put into folders now pop up in the main section of the favorites bar in Safari 14.1. When I put them back into the folders and restart Safari, the same problem happens again. Anyone else having the same problems? Daniel

Bookmarks list on Safari When I open Safari, my bookmarks (favorites) used to come up on the opening page, but I think a recent update changed things and now I only get list of Collected Links and I have to click on the bookmarks. What do I need to change to get the list to show when I open Safari?

Enclosing bookmarks folder is hidden I have 2 Safari bookmarks related to pressure cooking. I can't see them in my list of bookmarks. When I search bookmarks, they show up, apparently inside a bookmarks folder: Pressure Cooking. But I can't find this folder anywhere in the bookmarks list. This is true in MacOS Ventura and iPadOS 16.6. I wish to use these bookmarks and manage them from the list; should not have to search for them each time. And should be able to locate the enclosing folder.
