Favorites disappeared in edge

Hi Sue,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would like to inform you that all your favorites saved in Microsoft Edge web browser are located in the file path-

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Spartan_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Spartan\User\Default\Favorites

If you have saved the same web browsers in Internet Explorer you can import them to Edge by following the steps below:

• 
  Go to "More Actions" by selecting the
  "(...)" in the upper right corner of the Edge window.
  
• 
  Select "Settings"
  
• 
  Turn on (select) the "Show the favorites bar"
  
• 
  "Import favorites from another browser" will appear. Select it.
  
• 
  Choose the browser from which you want to import your favorites.
  
• 
  Select "Import".
  

Hope this helps
