I logged on to Chrome today, and my entire bookmarks, 1000's of entries, was gone. That was several years of detailed research and it's gone just like that.

Is there any way to get the Chrome bookmarks data file to be turned back a day or two? I'm really suffering with this one.

I also tried doing a Windows restore to a couple days ago, but had no luck.

Is there a Bookmarks file in %AppData%\..\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default? What is its size? – Gene Sep 4 '12 at 6:41

Do you "sign in" to Chrome and sync between devices? – w3d Sep 4 '12 at 7:43
This happened to me a few days ago after a chrome update, did not delete all, but most, yes I had a recent backup of the bookmarks file. – Moab Sep 4 '12 at 13:35
