I just uninstalled node.js from my macbookPro and it has somehow scrambled the finder sidebar. See attached screenshot. The missing items are iCloud (not ICloudDrive), Applications, Photos, Pictures, and a folder which is my name (under favourites), which I would appeciate your scrubbing before publication. I have tried following the net advice without luck. Can you help?

I have finally figured this out after wasting so much time. You just don't know the secret handshake. You merely click on the > to the right of favorites.You don't see one? You won't until you do a mouseover.
You should have learned this in the class, "What are the important things to know about my mac which are completely hidden from me?" class. Designers think it is so cool to hide features. I couldn't figure how to open a car door last week.
How come "iCloud" is missing, when it is clearly shown in your screenshot?
It seems to me that the one simple thing you have to do is to "disclose" your "Favourites":
hover your mouse pointer near the word "Favourites", until you see ">".
Click ">" to disclose the items in "Favourites".
You apparently have your Documents and Desktop in iCloud, so "Documents" is a folder that is sitting inside your iCloud Drive.

I just noticed that when I go Finder>NewFinderWindow>Applications, the list is empty.
However everything in the Dock is working ok.
Thanks Luis, I presume iCloud > Documents points to iCloud whereas iCloud > iCloud Drive points to iCloud Drive.
Also the Applications folder has reappeareed.
What a relief. Thanks again.
