Note that the action behind adding favorite folder is to create a shortcut to that folder. Any deletion and rename made to the favorite folder will just modify the shortcut, not the actual folder.

Once you have added a folder as favorite, you can revisit it every time you are in file/directory chooser. To revisit a favorite folder, simply click on it in the Favorite list.
