Bookmarks disappeared: How to find your bookmarks in Google Chrome

Your bookmarks are saved as “Bookmark” on your computer. You can find them here:

  1. Close Chrome. Open Start > Computer and select the C: drive.
  2. Then go to your own account under “Users” and click on “AppData”.
  3. Now open “Local” > “Google” > “Chrome” > “User Data” > “Default”.
  4. Here you will find the files “Bookmarks” and “Bookmarks.bak”. Rename the file “Bookmarks” to “Bookmarks.del”. Remove the “.bak” extension from the file “Bookmarks.bak”.
  5. Open Google Chrome again. Display the bookmark manager by pressing the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl)+(Shift)+(O).
  6. Now all bookmarks are restored. You can delete the file “Bookmarks.del”.
