How to recover Chrome profile deleted on Windows 11

Today, I confusedly deleted my Chrome profile that had some websites that I had bookmarked. I want to recover it back to my desktop in Windows 11. Accidentally deleting a Chrome profile can be frustrating, but there are a few steps you can take to recover it:

1. Check for Local Data:
   • Navigate to C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.
   • Look for folders named “Default” or “Profile [number]”—these might contain your profile data.
   • If you find them, you can try restoring them to a previous version by right-clicking the folder, selecting “Properties,” and then “Previous Versions” (if enabled).
2. Sync with Your Google Account:
   • If your profile was synced with a Google account, sign back into Chrome using the same account. This should restore bookmarks, extensions, and other synced data.
3. Recover Bookmarks:
   • If bookmarks are your main concern, look for a file named Bookmarks.bak in the profile folder mentioned above. You can rename it to Bookmarks and replace the existing file.
4. Contact Google Support:
   • If none of the above works, reaching out to Google Chrome Support might provide additional assistance.
