i lost info stored on my google history

Postby chevyart » Wed Dec 11, 2013 8:35 pm

i usually clear my user history every so often for the stuff i do not want to save. all important tech posts i have been saving were somehow lost in past few days. they dated back to around september of this year. it happened once before a few months ago. is there any way i can retrieve this info, as i didnt intentionally delete it, and i know i didnt accidently delete it. is this info maybe date sensitive, and maybe automatically removed every few months thanks art

you have an option to turn off "deleting" browser history. if it's not set, it will delete after time.

If your computer has it , you can restore everything to an earler day. our 2 year old laptop can do it , but our the old desktop cant.

Hey Art,
Another thing you can do is bookmark a post and then drag the bookmark into a folder on your desktop. It'll be permanently saved as a file. :)
