I screwed up and deleted my user (and all data) from Edge for Mac. What files would I need to recover from backup in order to recreate the user in Edge as it was before my brain fart?
Thanks.

@HotCakeX Thanks, HCX. The first thing I did when this happened was to restore the Profile 1 file. That didn't work so I posted this message. After getting your reply, I thought, "Why not replace the entire Application Support/Microsoft Edge folder. Nothing to lose." So, I quit Edge and deleted that folder. I restored it from a Time Machine backup well before this happened and, just to be on the safe side, rebooted the Mac (which it needed anyway since it runs 24/7). When I opened Edge, everything appeared to be there with the exception of a couple of pinned tabs. The extensions were intact, which was my biggest concern (I use a lot of them).
I thought I had sync turned on before this happened, but maybe not. I will make sure I do it now.
Thanks, again, for your response.
