Home Forums Mac Software Mac Applications opening an alias folder

OS 10.12.6

I tried to open a folder which said 'file cannot be opened because original file cannot be found'
I'm sure this has been asked before but what is the answer?

I tried putting the HD in the sidebar via finder prefs and then dragging it out and replacing it by dragging the desktop HD into the sidebar. That was a suggestion from googleing. Didn't work of course.
