Hi,
Did people also loose favorites on the (or one of the) latest update(s) of Edge?
I found out that I lost a TON of favorites, but strangely enough only in the "Other favorites' section.
And in that section, only favorites that existed in subfolders.
But I didn't loose all of the subfolder favorites, sometimes one or two favorites remaining of dozens before in a subfolder.
But most subfolders were 'emptied out' after the third subfolder in the list.
Very weird behavior to say the least.
Are there ways to retrieve older syncs somehow? Is Edge somewhere storing this older information locally?

Hey @RobWuijster! Are the favorites that are still there older ones by chance? I'm trying to figure out some pattern to the favorites that are still there versus the ones that are missing.
Did you have sync enabled? You mentioned it was the 'Other Favorites' folder specifically, but did anything else like passwords or autofill items clear as well? Can you visit edge://sync-internals/ and confirm how many Total and Live Entries you have for Bookmarks, and if that's (roughly) the amount you're seeing now or the amount you'd expect to see?
