Windows 10: Many Favorite's Folders

I have so many Favorites folders in Edge as seen below: Some of those I don't even know how they got there. I would like to have all my Favorites in one folder. Is there any way to do that? For instance could I put the folder "Free Software for Windows" into "Imported from Internet Explorer"? Thanks in advance

:)

 

Folder in Favorites lost

Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.

 

favorite folders there, sites are gone

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are referring to the favorites folder created within the Internet Explorer.

If you lose the favorites saved within the Internet Explorer
and as an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if you are able to locate the favorites that has been missing from Internet Explorer.

• Click This PC.
• Type %userprofile% into the Address bar
  
• Press Enter on your keyboard
• Click on Favorites and check if the missing favorites are there.
  

If you are able to locate the missing favorites, I suggest you to create a backup and try to import the favorites.

Refer to the section Import Favorites, from the below article.

I am not able to open favorites folder or sub folders under it in EDGE browser

Hi Rodney,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  Did you checked whether you are able to see the favorite’s folder under your users?
  
• 
  Are you able to see the Favorites bar on EDGE browser?
  
• 
  Does the EDGE browser close/crashes only when you try to open the favorites folder or any other scenarios?
  

Note: By default the favorite’s folder will be present under your user’s folder. Follow the below steps to check if you are able to view the favorites.

• Open the ‘C’ drive on your computer. If your OS is installed on any other drive, open that one.
• Under the ‘Users’ section, locate the name of your system’s main admin account and open its folder.
• Locate the folder named ‘favorites’ and open it. In short, the path for this folder becomes as follows (assuming the system drive to be ‘C’ and your account name to be ‘Hamza’).
  
  C:\users\hamza\favorites\

I suggest you to refer to the section Import favorites in the below link on how to Import favorites in Internet Explorer.
