history/bookmark recovery

A Former User

Hello Readers,

I am in sticky waters. I formatted a PC without first exporting its bookmarks. Now there is bad data loss.

I ran good recovery software, I can now see the opera Stable directory.

I see a file called 'Visited Links. '. According to this page :
https://help.opera.com/en/latest/crashes-and-issues/

..it holds a list of URLS that was viewed already by opera - That sounds like enough history for me!

Is there enough data in there for me to get at least my general History back?

How could I view it or any other file that may help?

Also - the file in the opera install directory called "bookmarks" only had some generic references.
