So I recently got a new macbook air, and I set it up with iCloud.  For the most part it was great but when I looked in Safari I saw this! I’ll be the first to admit that my bookmarks were never perticularly well organized, but after I started to use iCloud betas, my bookmarks started to look like this!   Hundreds and hundreds of “untitled folder”s with nothing in them, on top of countlessly repeats of my actual folders…. ugh I expected this kind of thing from the beta’s and hoped the public release would fix itself but, alas, no. So I finally took the time to manually try and delete all these folders.  I spent a good hour and a half on the laptop pressing the delete button as fast as I could to delete the folders one by one (shift click wouldnt work).   Finally I got through it and I felt so proud of myself for putting in the effort to clean it all up, and thinking that iCloud would sync up all my other devices with the newly cleaned bookmarks.  But its now been a week since the clean-up and my iMac, iPad, and iPhone all still have the mess of nothingness!  There’s got to be a better way?!? UPDATE: After some digging I found that the best solution was to delete all the bookmarks on the machine by renaming the safari bookmarks plist file… then flipping icloud off back on again and it downloads just the good bookmarks… whew!
