Hi,

I used the profilemanager to create a new profile, but I chose a wrong directory so I deleted it and made it again in the default directory. But now all my bookmarks and stuff are gone on both (default and the new one) profiles. Where's my old profile?

Please help me!

You shouldn't use Choose folder when you create a new profile, but always accept the default. Choose folder should be used with caution and you should always select an empty folder or a folder that already has a profile, but got lost and need to be re-registered.

Did you delete files via the Profile Manager when you deleted that profile?

If you did then all profiles are removed.
You should always be careful if you the profile manager to remove profiles.

I probably deleted the files too, but why does it delete ALL profiles then?!

Thanks anyway!
