I lost many bookmarks in Google Chrome.. How can I recover?

Hello guys.. I have a question. I use Chrome and I back it up with my gmail account but I seem to have accidentally deleted a folder of bookmarks and they are really important to me. is there like a backup file saved on my computer or maybe a backup online I can get from Google?

Please help

If you're on Windows, try this.

If you're on OS X, try this.

I believe both require that you haven't restarted Chrome since you deleted the folder, however.

Unfortunately I noticed that the folder was gone today after deleting it like a week ago so I have no chance of recovering them.. This sucks so much..

0	The only other way is to search for the file Prevention: use xMarks or Google sync and keep a HTML file backup of the bookmarks answered Feb 15 '11 at 20:28 kevin ♦♦ 35.7k●160●316●588

0	From now on you should use "Sync" option from Preferences > Personal Stuff Tab. It syncs all or selected data to your google account. This answer is marked "community wiki". answered Feb 17 '11 at 08:52 Sandeep Pilakhnawal 91●4●5●10
