Backing up favorites in edge

Just to verify @menu, when you went to the location below in File Explorer, did you see this like in the screenshot below?

Favorites are now stored in an ESE database file that can't be viewed like can with Internet Explorer favorites in your "%UserProfile%\Favorites" folder.

Code:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default

Well thanks for that.:)
Would it be possible for you to give me a rundown on how do you get to find your favourite folder.
Could you Please give step by step on how you get to see the fa folder.Then we will see if I'm doing something wrong here.
I would be much appreciated if you could.
David.

All I do is click on the 3 lines next to the star and the app showing a pencil on a pad
Then all my folders show
Then I just click the one I want
The only time I click the star is if I want to either add a folder or a file to which ever folder I want.
So if you are doing that then as far as I know you are doing it right

Thanks for being patient with me.
No the file explorer was blank.Just said Working on it...... Nothing else

It sounds like they could be corrupted.

Do you have these same favorites in Internet Explorer or another browser that you could use to import back to Microsoft Edge after resetting Microsoft Edge?

In that case, you could also turn on "Sync your content" in Microsoft Edge settings to have favorites automatically synced with your Microsoft account. This way if you need to reinstall, they should be restored when synced next.
