Bookmarks in Chrome

I am having an annoying problem with Google Chrome bookmarks. These have sort of proliferated rapidly, and there are now so many that I decided to go thru them and thin the herd; so I did.

The selected bookmarks went away for that session, but the next time Chrome was used, they all appear in the bookmark list again.

I deleted these using both the delete button on the bookmark list, and also going to Bookmark Manager and deleting them there. Nothing works.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The first thought is to reboot – see if that works. Or maybe just close your Chrome browser in Task Manager after deleting them, and then reopen it…

I just did a test. I created a bookmark, then deleted it, and it popped right back up again. I deleted it a second time, and it stayed gone. I repeated the process to consider how I was doing it, and I had to delete it a third time before it stayed gone.

New version?
