How do I remove a screen saver folder?

How do i remove a Screen Saver pictures folder from the sidebar? I added a folder or two to my Screen Saver by choosing "Choose Folder..." and now I want it gone. How in the hell do I do that?

I can't drag it out... I can't delete it... I can't do a damn thing with it. You'd think that it'd be as easy to get rid of it as it was to add it, but it seems not...

Hey Diablo-- Screen Saver has been changed a bit again in X.3.3. I think you can replace an unwanted folder from the sidebar by selecting it, hitting Choose, and selecting a different one. But some chosen folder has got to remain once you have ever chosen one, I'm pretty sure. IIRC you used to be able to get rid of any chosen folder simply by selecting the Pictures Folder instead but it looks like it no longer works that way. Also default Screen Savers used to be accessible in the System Library but are now hidden.

Hmmm, while playing around with the SS Preference Pane a new folder named Photo Library Selections somehow suddenly appeared but has now vanished after relaunching.

I wonder if you could trick the Screen Saver pane by moving or renaming the unwanted folders in the Finder.

Avoid the issue altogether—use Path Finder!

How would using Path Finder change the behavior of the Screen Saver Preference Pane?
