Whilst not paying attention I accidentally deleted a useful bookmarks folder from my Apple Mac Google Chrome, I wasn't concerned just a quick 15 second mouse click would solve it, or so I thought.

However, if like me you thought you could just go to the edit menu and select UNDO to get it back then alas we are wrong.  As with a lot of todays software, the software engineers seem to have spent so much time on the fancy things whilst removing the basic that actually make sense (sorry old software engineer rant ;-) LOL.

So things were much more complicated, tedious and time consuming.  Is it just me or are others getting fed up with typing in a search to Google etc which returns hundreds or thousands of alleged results only to discover they are sites that list other sites, that list other sites, that may or usually haven't got a solution.

Also, when I think I've found a solution, quite often I discover the solution or video they present is missing some vital steps or actions which the developer must have done to get a solution, thats assuming they did indeed find a solution.  I've had a few moans that my videos are too long winded, that I should edit a lot more, but as a trainer and lecturer I have always believed in showing people how to do things, warts and all.

As describing some of the actions for getting your bookmarks back from Mac Google Chrome, would be confusing or misunderstood I decided to make a new video.

Below is the YouTube video of how I got back my deleted bookmarks folder, step by step so hopefully you can do the same.

Just don't quit Google Chrome until you've backed up the 'bookmarks.bak' file.
