    Have 2 desktops with windows 11 one has been upgraded from windows 10 the other is new. I synced edge favorites and that went well. That started me looking at the favorites and I determined that I had a bunch of favorites that I didn't need. I deleted the old ones I no longer wanted and was about to turn on the second computer and I suddenly realized that maybe the first computer would sync the favorites, I deleted, back into the favorites from the second computer. I turned off sync in the first computer so that wouldn't happen and that got me to thinking if I could make one computer the master so the other one would delete favorites instead of adding them back to the first computer. Is there a way to do that or do I have to turn off sync and delete them manually each time? Thanks for the help. Jack

    Why not just experiment and report back the results?

    Just delete ONE and go from there.

    Experimented and sync put all the deleted favorites (38 items) back into the computer I deleted them from. I'm guessing that I have to turn sync off on both computers and manually delete them from each computer and then turn sync back on. Seems there should be an easier way. Should be easier after they are deleted from both computers since I may delete one every now and then. Adding will not be a problem since the other computer should add it. New subject in a new thread to follow. Thanks, Jack
