Recover deleted favorites in Edge

I accidentally deleted some of my bookmarks/favorites in Edge  (Windows 10).  Is there a way that they can be restored?  Thanks.  RICARD K

Hi,

Per my understanding, the deleted favorites still exist in the database, but marked as "deleted" and hidden from Favorites bar/menu. But I'm not sure how long they would be preserved in the database.

Try EdgeManage

From the View menu, click Show deleted items.

Then, right-click on the deleted favorite, and choose Undelete.

That's correct... they stay in the database for 30 days

Thanks. Good to know that.

Before seeing your response, I deleted a bunch of favorites in order to check how long the "IsDeleted" entries are retained in spartan.edb. So, you saved me a test.

For Ramesh Srinivasan:  Thanks for the info.  The app worked great.  Are you one of the developers?  If so I have some suggestions for future updates.

The application itself has the email at the "Help->About" menu... plus the website has a "About Me" page that includes the email address of the author.

OT:

@graye: Would you like to add this to your stylesheet?

body{font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;}
p, li {font-size: 15px;}
h1 {font-size: 22px; font-weight: 600;}
h2 {font-size: 20px; font-weight: 500;}
h3 {font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400;}
pre {margin-left:15px; border: 1px solid #ededed; background-color:#fff; font-family: Consolas, Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace; font-size: 13px; overflow: auto; padding:20px}

Looks much better than the default font.

If you don't like it, ignore my post :)

My web pages don't set the font at all... allowing the browser to choose what font to use.   For IE, I typically use Verdana... but unfortunately Edge doesn't have a convenient feature for changing the default font.

I used this tool and it worked fine. The only problem was that I didn't delete the favourites that had disappeared (they were some recent additions to the Favourites bar) and when I undeleted them in edgemanage, it said they were deleted by Roaming_MarkDBEntryDeleted instead of the usual FavouritesHandler or whatever it normally is I can't quite remember. Do you have any idea why this is?

have tried this four times now and have gone through every bookmark that had been deleted and checked them all and said undelete and then saved changes and NONE of them has been undeleted. This software doesn't work.

..... it said they were deleted by Roaming_MarkDBEntryDeleted .... Do you have any idea why this is? 

" _DeletedBy_ Roaming_MarkDBEntryDeleted"

It means that the entry was deleted because that is what the cloud ordered. It happens when a sync file is deleted from RoamingState, the folder that represents the cloud. This usually happens when you manually delete the item on another synced device and then it is up to the cloud to make sure that the item is deleted on all other synced devices.
