Bookmarks Deleted after cleaning temp folder
-
drakerin0 last edited by leocgHi there, I've been using Opera GX. Today I was cleaning my temp folder, which I do regularly.
And after I have finished, my PC started to act weird, folders wouldn't open anymore.
So I restarted my PC and eveything went back to normal except that all my bookmarks, passwords and etc from Opera were gone.
I didn't have a Opera sync account, so I'm hoping there was any other way to recover those things... -

Hello,
Perhaps no one look at Opera GX section?
Since I am using "Stable" version, not GX, but I believe Stable/GX are almost similar bookmarks system. -

What does this have to do with our problem!!
What about lost bookmarks? is it gone already? deleted while use windows clean tool? seriously?I clean my PC using windows tool, shutdown my PC & then went to work, didn't noticed any changed because I didn't use browser at that time? it's just regularly clean "BASIC" I didn't even use Opera cleaner tool or any others ...!!!
Once I try to open a link "Opera my default browser" I saw there is new update I didn't hesitate to press relaunched to open Opera without bookmarks?
Bookmarks is completely empty .... it says: "Add your first bookmark using
"Is there anyway to get old bookmarks back?

@leocg hay mate, apologies for late reply!
If you open the Bookmarks file in a text editor, do you see any sign of your bookmarks?
Before I bother to search for solution, I tried to open the folder you mentioned and take a look around for any missing file/folder, first I checked Bookmarks was completely empty "NO URL" (VSC editor) ...
Now; while writing this line i double checked, still nothing!!!
Yesterday, I started to bookmark what I remembered, by visit each or googling
this gona take ages ....BTW: there are 2 files:
- bookmarks (which is suppose to be contained url) ALMOST EMPTY
- BookmarksExtras (unreadable)
Answering your question: No, there is no sign of any HOPE!
However, worth to mention that most of files/folders duplicated? doubled and/or tripled same name but ended with:
- .backup
- .old
- .tmp
- .log
Unfortunately, bookmarks not one of them?
Even thou, my curiosity took me deep into folders, while I am 100% that bookmarks long gone "deleted" In a way or another....
My suspicious caused this issue one of the following; either it is (updating Windows) or (updating Opera) last version, there is no other way?I am 100% positive , because ..
- No one touched my computer!
- I didn't use any third-party tools to "clean" my PC? as mentioned previously post...
- I was trying to start some project, that's why I collect all of these URL, otherwise ... why bothering ?
I mean I never go further without backing up my stuff? so I have my old bookmarks...
My problem is: ALL Bookmarks disappeared just like that?
I read articles at windows center, talking about last cumulative update can causes some issues and "delete files" one of them! -

@leocg is this just a guess, since you never request any logs from 3 of us who face same issue! (I don't know how this works but I know what other moderator in other forums will do "Basic" things to figure out)
Anyway....
I have no problem with that at all, but what case this issue?" Lost All Bookmarks "
So I'll try my best to avoid it next time?
