I have a ghost folder in my left bar in nautilus

I have a ghost folder in my left bar in nautilus which is called "Muziek" (Which is translated to "Music")

I want to remove it but I cant, because I can't even find it!

(onbekend = unkown)

(This means there are no rights)

So, does anyone know how I can remove it from there?

The output of cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks is:

file:///home/xyz/Documenten
file:///home/xyz/Muziek
file:///home/xyz/Afbeeldingen
file:///home/xyz/Video's
file:///home/xyz/Downloads

The output of cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is:

# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Bureaublad"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Sjablonen"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Openbaar"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documenten"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Afbeeldingen"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Video's"

(I already tried to comment out XDG_MUSIC_DIR but no change!)

Ubuntu version: 17.10 (64 bit)

I did NOTHING to get it there (and it has nothing to do with with my USB, BACKUP USB or Floppy!)

Those Ghost folders happen when you change around the names of the different top entries by hand in terminal. Usually it is enough to right-click on the ghost entry and choose to remove it from the side bar.

But before that make sure the entries in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs match the actual folder names you are using right now and do a reboot. The actual folder names should how up on the top part in nautilus, then right-click the ghost entries and choose remove which will remove them from the view.
