Lost Bookmarks, History And Library

Hi

I take it you are using Chrome as the browser?

Best bet is look in one of these locations for your bookmarks (both are hidden so un-hide files and folders
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default)

search for bookmarks.bak and copy this file as a backup to your desktop, then rename the original bookmarks.bak file to just bookmarks.

Outside chance is you can open the folder location as above then on a blank space in the folder right click > properties > click the Previous versions tab and go back a day and look for the bookmarks file and recover it, you can right click this file and choose open with Notepad to check the contents, but dont tick the "always open" option.

and click the link that shows you how to backup your bookmarks to an html file.

I do this with my Palemoon bookmarks and store them on a USB stick.

 

Can you elaborate on that a little more as to which part of Google are you saving bookmarks in?
Which browser do you use to get to Google?

 

Hi

Thanks for the info on the browser you are using and as Firefox by default (if setting has not been changed) saves your bookmarks in a backup file so you can use this to recover the last dated one https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

For reference they are generally located in this folder and either in the address bar of an Explorer folder or from Windows Search box type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and hit enter and you should see a folder with random numbers/letters then .default, open that and then there is a folder named bookmarkbackups but the steps in the link above will recover and import the backup of your bookmarks, settings etc

 

Fantastic on Bookmarks and History and answered your other problem also.
