Need Help Restoring Chrome Bookmarks

638 Views 9 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  surferdude2
I accidentally deleted a folder of Bookmarks.

I am running Windows 7. I tried doing a Restore, but it didn't get my bookmarks back.

In C:\Users\Me\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default there is file Bookmarks, and a backup file Bookmarks.bak
I tried renaming the backup to Bookmarks, and am semi-successful at getting the lost bookmarks back. The lost bookmarks are back, for a moment, but seems as soon as I touch any of the bookmarks icons, the ones that were previously deleted get deleted again, and the Bookmarks file decreases in size, indicating I just lost those bookmarks again. Did that several times, rebooted in between, etc etc.

Not sure what is going on. Anybody understand how I can get by bookmarks back ?
