What happens when you delete a bookmark by accident, however? You might run into a situation where you delete favorites thinking they are old and irrelevant. You might accidentally delete an entire folder full of important bookmarks—oops. If you’re running Microsoft Edge, you can recover your bookmarks by following the steps below.
How to Recover Deleted Bookmarks in Edge
Before we start, it’s important to note that, unlike Chrome, when you delete a favorite from the bookmarks bar, you can’t recover it. So, it’s important to remember that you can only recover a deleted bookmark using the Favorites Manager. To recover deleted bookmarks on Microsoft Edge: After pressing Ctrl + Z on your keyboard, the bookmarks will be restored as if you never deleted them. Currently, Edge doesn’t have a recovery option for bookmarks deleted from the Favorites bar, so you’ll want to ensure to use the manager section to delete bookmarks on Edge. If you’re a Firefox user, you can use the same shortcut to restore deleted bookmarks on Firefox. The shortcut also works on Google Chrome, too.
Managing Your Bookmarks
If you need to restore accidentally deleted bookmarks in Microsoft Edge, it’s important to remember to open Favorites Manager and use Ctrl + Z. And while Edge is a Chromium browser, Google Chrome has the advantage since you can restore bookmarks regardless of where they were deleted. It’s also important to note that you can import and export bookmarks in Edge. This is helpful if you don’t sync bookmarks between Windows machines or need to recover deleted bookmarks. It’s not just an Edge feature either; you can import and export bookmarks in Google Chrome. Keyboard shortcuts come in handy.
