Hi @Thehen ,
Please see:
Hi @LDF1311 , Welcome to Community!
You could try going to C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default and copying the contents from Default into a new Default folder from a new installation. Default will be your original profile, any other new profiles will be called Profile 1, Profile 2 and so on.
note - this method is not perfect and some data may be lost
and
To back up everything I would make a copy of your Default profile folder to your Desktop.
The Default folder can be found at:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data. This folder will contain your bookmarks, extensions, etc.
After making the new Brave installation, you can replace the new Default folder with your backup copy.
For more details about backing up your data, see this topic:
You shouldn’t need anything else but the default folder, also note this method is not perfect.
Also you could try coping only the passwords and/or bookmarks file/folder over rather than the whole default.
