Windows 10: Novice Question - Windows 10 User Profile deleted

Long story short, I got my profile corrupt in Windows 10, which took down bookmarks and shortcuts with it. I have what was saved on the External Hard drive from a month ago. Yeah I should back up more!

Now, the question is, is there a place in Windows 10 I can look for Bookmarks/shortcuts/History in Explorer, Firefox and Opera?

Well you can try something like this... Delprof2 – User Profile Deletion Tool
It is free to use, if you use for private use.
