I think blogrolls are helpful for your readers in finding other blogs to check out in the space you’re writing in

it worked for me like a charm, none of the methods above did. there is no such file on my Mac like com.apple.sidebarlists.plist, neither spotlight nor search can find it

It worked for me: “Hold down the command key and drag it off”

Lost couple of hours trying to remove it !

Ok found it! It’s in the “User Account”/Library/Preferences not the root Library folder of course

Holding down the command key while dragging it worked for me. Strangely there was no “com.apple.sidebarlists.plist” in my Library/Preferences folder?

Press command while dragging the item out of the sidebar.

I had the same problem (no longer existing files in the sidebar that couldn't be deleted) and it worked fine.
