Most stuff seems to be in :
.local/share/morph-browser/
you can get ther ewith the File Manager app and delete stuff.
I frequently do this to remove cookies and site data , but I don't see bookmarks there on my first look...

@wartburgritter A little more info here, a "workaround" but unfortunately no direct solution.

@circ is right about the location. To be specific, bookmarks are collected in ~/.local/share/morph-browser/bookmarks.sqlite. But that's not very useful for solving your problem.

There doesn't appear to be a way to delete or even rename a bookmark folder. Nor a method to move bookmarks between folders. Because a workaround is if all bookmarks are removed from a folder, then the folder itself is removed. Unfortunately, this would only be practical if the folder has a small number of bookmarks that you are happy to delete (by right-swiping).

Beyond this, my suggestion is opening an issue on the Morph browser repo.

I removed all bookmarks from all folders, but the empty folders stay in bookmarks. They are just empty.

@wartburgritter So you want to clear all bookmarks and start over? If so, a direct way of doing that is by deleting (or renaming) ~/.local/share/morph-browser/bookmarks.sqlite. When you reopen Morph, bookmarks will be reset to the default.
