Google Chrome – Recovering Deleted Bookmarks

Yesterday I accidentally deleted one of my bookmarks on Google Chrome. It doesn’t prompt a warning or moves it to the Trash Bin, it just deletes it… and there’s no recover option.

Luckily, there’s a way to get your deleted bookmarks back by using the bookmark backup file that Chrome creates, allowing you to “recover” it. Simply replace the Bookmarks-file with the backup and it’s back in place 😀

For Xp user’s, Go to : C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

For Vista user’s, Go to : C:\Users\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

For Windows 7 user’s, Go to : C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

You can see a file named ‘Bookmarks.bak’ . You can make an extra backup of it if you prefer, but it should work just fine. Delete the file ‘Bookmark’ and rename the file ‘Bookmarks.bak’ to ‘Bookmarks’ and BAM!! problem solved 😀
