@Pathduck Thanks for the info/help! I got as far as looking for the AppData folder and it is not there.
-
Access the Emergency Profile, and go to
Vivaldi://About
, Note the Path for Profile at Bottom. -
Sure,
Following that, your Default should appear at the side "File Explorer" as "Default".It was the Only Profile on the Windows User?
-
@Zalex108 The only folders under the Users folder are: Admin, <user> and Public. I finally found the profile path, thank you. But like I said, no AppData folder.
-
@thatonegirl Oh, I'm sorry I forgot it's a hidden folder. Just copy the path, paste it into Explorer, edit in your username and press enter. Or use this in Explorer:
%localappdata%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Sessions
Or read:

Complementing @Pathduck info:
- Win + R > %AppData%
And you'll be redirected despite Hidden Files toggle to the Current User's folder.
-
@hlehyaric Thanks, I finally got to the profile path!
-
@Pathduck Awesome, I found it, thank you so much!
-
@thatonegirl Wait did you just post in the future?Edit: just realized my computer's clock is ahead, according to Time.is
-
Ok @Zalex108, am I copying just the Default folder for the backup or all of the folders along with the Default folder?
-
@legobuilder26 Haha, maybe!
-
The Default Should be Your Main Profile.
Despite that,
You can copy the whole Root, one level UP, to assure.Or post a Screenshot and we will check it.
-
Ok @Zalex108, I am copying just the Default folder and the First Run file right now - like the link instructions said.
Just to make sure I understand this correctly, why am I copying the Default folder from the test/emergency profile? When I was able to open vivaldi with the test profile it did not have any of my bookmarks, etc.

Ok,
In a normal Install, the Hierarchy it's:Main=Default
2nd=Profile1=New User [Test / EMergency / ...]
3rd=Profile2=EtcEdit:
The Main folder contains all the Profiles, but the Default one is the Primary.So,
What's the Profile's Name of the New Profile?You have to Copy the Default on the Side, but better One Level Above.
At least for now. -

The copy of the
Default
folder is to create a backup before you delete theUser Data
folder, to allow you to copy the important files back again.The test profile you created will have another name, usually something like
Profile 1
.I would try deleting the files under
Sessions
first to avoid completely nuking the profile. -

I've rechecked the Help Info after your previous comment about Sessions, but is the Help outdated?
Sessions are the Saved
Current Session is the Current Opened Tabs -
@Zalex108 FWIW, in my own
Default
, there are noSessions
&Current Sessions
files anymore. IIRC, those two files don't exist anymore (the data is in another file). It was discussed in another thread some times ago, but I'm unable to remember exactly when and where. -
-
@Zalex108 Now, there's a
Sessions
folder inDefault
. I think it replacesSessions
,Current Sessions
,Tabs
&Current Tabs
former files. Help pages seem a little outdated… -
