I needed that! A few months ago, I found a way to add the alias of a network share to the Finder sidebar. Since then, I had removed the share from the network, but the link I had added to the sidebar remained. Unlike the other items on the list, where an Option+click gave multiple options (including remove), this single icon and label would not be removed. But success! Holding the Command key and dragging it off the sidebar did the trick! Thanks for the tip from a comment! Holy Cow! I needed that!
