Unable to remove starred files from sidebar

Hi ​@isaacw, thanks for reaching out! 

This definitely sounds odd. I just tried to reproduce this issue, but removing starred items from my sidebar is saving as expected. It sounds like you’re using the desktop app. Is that correct? If so, is your desktop app up to date? And can you try clearing your desktop app cache to see if that helps? 

You can clear cache from the Help menu or using tools depending on your computer’s operating system. Let me know how it goes!
