How do I delete a bookmark that returns a 404 error?

The normal way to delete a bookmark is to click the bookmark (which loads the page), then click the three dots on the right of the url field after the page loads, then click the "edit this bookmark" icon, then select "remove bookmark". But a 404 redirect does not land on the bookmarked page and there is no "edit this bookmark" icon.

How do I delete a bookmark to a page that no longer loads? I want to keep other bookmarks intact.

Open the bookmarks library (ctl+shft+o), find and select the bookmark then 'delete' or right-click and select 'delete'.

Note that on Mac you need "Command+Shift+O" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library; Show All Bookmarks)
