Problem managing editing deleting from favorites / favourites
For uninteresting reasons I have not had occasion to try to edit my favourites till yesterday.
I find that, if I am connected to the Internet, anything I do is undone within seconds. If I delete a folder of links for example, then it stays deleted, just until I reconnect to the internet. This applies whether trying to do it within Explorer (Favorite>Organize Favorites) or whether I just go to ...Myname\Favorites and perform ordinary deletion.
Deleting a specific link produces the same results... I have a folder of links called BMW Stuff, with three links in it. If I delete a link or links, then they disappear, but return some seconds later, ditto for the whole folder.
It is clear that some sort of sync'ing is going on, and elsewhere I read something about iCloud, but I do not have iCloud installed. I believe it may be happening through my Microsoft account. My favourites are not on OneDrive, but both my laptop (where I am working) and the desktop (which is switched on at home) are automatically signed in to MS.
My next step is to turn off my desktop as soon as I can and repeat the exercise, but I thought, as this is notably well mentioned on various fora, perhaps someone here on this hall of fame might just be able to give an immediate and definitive answer.
