Are you sure? For me, I can only "Disable" it, and it gets promptly re-enabled right after clicking on some other item in the sidebar.

There doesn't seem to be any way to disable it permanently, or, preferably, removing it entirely.

This list is filled with a LUA script in a VLC dir, and you can override it with a user list. IT's not available through GUI but if it bothers you it's possible to remove it entirely that way.

Unfortunately on a Mac, by touching files in the app bundle (VLC.app/Content/MacOS/share/lua/playlist) you break the app signature :(
