When you use the Registry Editor to make adjustments, review the contents of a particular key, or make corrections, you can save the key as a favorite so you can easily find it again. Unfortunately, if you upgrade to a new version or install your system properly, all favorites are deleted. Here you will learn how to backup and restore them from one version/installation to another.
Editing the Registry
Before you begin, you should take a few moments to back up your system by creating a system image in the Backup and Restore tool. This way, if a problem occurs, you can restore your system and start working again immediately.
To launch the Registry Editor, click the Start button, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press [Enter]. When the UAC dialog box appears, respond accordingly.
How to Delete All Edge Favorites using the Registry Editor
Close Microsoft Edge, open File Explorer, add the path to the next folder in the address bar and press ENTER:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default
Delete or rename the two folders “DataStore” and “Favorites”.
One of the subfolders of the DataStore folder contains the database file spartan.edb, which contains all your favorites. The Favorites folder contains individual .URL files for the Favorites bar, a cache location managed by Edge.
Then open the following folder:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\RoamingState
Delete the contents of the folder.
