Desktop shortcut keeps disappearing from side panel in Finder in Sonama

So no matter how many times I drag the shortcut from my library into the Finder window so I can just open a Finder window and click Desktop for access to files it just seems to randomly disappear out of there - any ideas why ?

Seconded! Keeps happening to me, too. It's like my Mac is gaslighting me.

"What Desktop shortcut? You never dragged a Desktop shortcut over here..."

Don't know why, but Command-Shift-D is another way to get there.

I had 10-12 favorite locations (some were 3 levels "deep") in Finder Sidebar Favorites and overnight they all just went away. Not exactly the same situation as yours, but I'm betting the 2 are related. Frustrating! This used to happen much more frequently, but I've not seen it in several months ... thought perhaps it was fixed!

I've had this many times with lots of favourites disappearing every dew days and prior to Sonoma as well. Lately it has actually been better.
