Hi again, me here helplessly needing more..help?!

 

Yesterday i was clearing out my old (android) phone to get it ready for selling, i blindly deleted all of chromes browsing data, including; history, auto-fill, saved passwords... The lot.

I had forgotten that since google wants to be everywhere and make everything linked and all that rubbish, this would have the same effect on my desktops browser...

 

I have attempted to do a system-restore on my desktop in the slight hope that it would recover the since deleted files, no luck.

 

I can only hope that someone here can help me with this, as the passwords saved on there are my only link to a fair few websites that i have stupidly not saved elsewhere.

 

Cheers for any help, much appreciated

Desktop: i5 2500k @ 4.8GHz stable, 16GB Corsair XMS3, Asus P8P67, Corsair H50 AIO Liquid cooler (worst decision in the build), Corsair GS600, Intel 520 180GB, and to top it all off... An nvidia gt630!

Laptop: Dell Vostro 3360, i7 3517U, 8GB, 120GB Samsung 840 Evo, Intel 7260 Dual band AC, Dell 4G wireless modem

Workstation(in the making): Two Xeon X5650 processors (24 threads!), Supermicro X8DTE-F,56 GB ECC ram (more to come, a lot more), very old 'industrial computer' case, supermicro heatsinks (amazingly silent) and as for the rest, i've not bought it yet!

Didn't you have in your settings on Chrome a Save file to transfer to maybe FF or IE? I have that just in case.

wow that sucks i've toyed with chrome on mobile but its just to much of resource hog and i hate that you have to press go to full site every time you load a page but i didn't think that because you cleared data from your phone that it would clear it from the pc aswell that makes no sence to me even from the standpoint of having all of you data everywhere surely its not just gone permanently 

Anyone keen for some online gaming hit me up!
