The Local Backup Window in Chromium
Brave continuously updates a local file named Bookmarks in your user profile directory, maintaining a previous state copy named Bookmarks.bak. This backup file is overwritten each time Brave launches.
The 3-Step File Recovery Method
- Close Brave immediately to avoid overwriting the backup.
- Open your system user data directory (
~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/on Mac or%LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Defaulton Windows). - Delete the corrupted
Bookmarksfile and renameBookmarks.baktoBookmarks. Relaunch Brave.
