If you are desperate then you can always use recovery software like Recuva. It’s free to use and can help you recover lost data.

You need to download and use the Stellar tool. To do this select the custom location option as showing in the wizard. Check the image below:

The Google Chrome history files are generally kept in this path by default: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default.

Click the Start button. You can also enable the deep scan option which searches for files in-depth but takes a lot longer to scan. Do it if it’s important since it can take a long time.

Method 4: SYSTEM Restore

Now, this method should only be used as a last resort since it will reset everything to a previous date.

This only works if a system restores exists on the day the history was made. If you do not have a system restore point after making the specific browser history and before deleting the history. This method won’t work for you.

Go to the search bar and type system restore.

You will see the system restore option in windows. Select the option and you will see all the restore points on your device.

Click the restore point you want and confirm the system restore. Once confirmed all the changes made after that restore point will be undone and your data will be recovered.

Simply install the software on a particular device and it will keep tracking all the browser history. This method works after the software have been installed on the device and not before installation.
