Google Chrome bookmark folder

libra10

By mistake I deleted a bookmark folder.

Is it possible to restore?

Using Windows 10.

Have been googling, and nothing seems to work.

Any help appreciated.

Did you delete this folder in Chrome?

libra10

Yes, meant to delete a website link in the folder but unfortunately deleted the folder.

There were 6 or 7 files within the folder.

It will likely be gone then. Check your Google account to see if they are still backed up there.

Have you tried file history ? Press the Windows button and type file history

Thanks for your response debitcardmayhem.

Have just checked, but file history appears to be turned off (by default).

Any other ideas?

Do you have another device running Chrome that hasn't gone online since this happened? Leaving that device disconnected from the internet, check to see if the bookmarks still exist within Chrome on that machine. If they do, export your bookmarks, and restore them on your original machine.

CardinalWolsey Thank you for your input.

Unfortunately I only have Chrome running on this PC. My other devices ipad and smartphone use Safari only.

Much appreciated.

Have you tried the recycle bin?

Oh and perhaps if you go backwards through your chrome history....

Thank you.

Recycle bin empty, will try going back through History, it might take a while ...:D

Much appreciated
