    Thanks @[Deleted User] I did initially try that, but unfortunately too late for it to work

    If it happens again I'll go straight to the bookmark manager, but hopefully I will be more careful in future

    Thanks @km1500 for your input.

    Unfortunately the deleted folder contained links that I hadn't visited recently.  I thought I was deleting the top link in the folder, but deleted the whole folder in error.  At the time I hadn't visited other links, therefore don't think they will be in History.
    Not sure whether the folder itself would show in History, or whether links only.

    Thanks for replying.

    In the app data folder posted above, are there any bookmark backup files? 

    I think some web browsers back them up every so often?

    Using iPad at present, when back home will check. 
    I was unsure where to look for the app data folder yesterday when I checked.

    Thanks @pete-20-11 Have checked, and unfortunately I don't see any bookmark backup files.

    I think the missing files have disappeared into the internet, never to be seen again  :)
