| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | the JB | 8/31/10 11:53 PM | Yeah , that suck i have the same probleme where can we find the folder or file to delete or restore to recreate a new profil ? |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | the JB | 8/31/10 11:58 PM | So then I really regret to have tested the beta version.. And if google guys want to know why i removed the beta version i had some issue with the dev tools.. I will try to delete all the folder AppData\Local\Google\Chrome and reinstall it.. |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | simvale007 | 9/1/10 12:04 AM | I found the answer actually, Go to Appdata>Local>Google>Chrome>Userdata and rename the 'default' folder as 'backup. Then cut it and put it up one level into the Chrome.... that will fix the profile issues and reset it. However if you want your bookma |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | movaltl | 9/4/10 6:01 AM | For those who are unable to find "Appdata" it is probably hidden. To unhide, open Windows Explorer select "Organize" (upper left) then "Folder and Search Options" then the "View" tab then the show hidden folder radio button. Good luck! |

| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | rmcca009 | 10/6/10 4:27 PM | Following simvale007's advice, I was unable to rename the folder due to permission settings. Deleting the file called "Web Data" inside the "Default" folder also gets rid of this issue. |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | dobyrne | 10/11/10 6:37 PM | simvale007: On windows xp it should be Go to Local>Appdata>Google>Chrome>Userdata I think ? Thanks David |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | racette | 10/15/10 8:51 PM | rmcca009's advice to delete the "Web Data" file worked for me. Instead of deleting it, I just renamed it "Web Data-old". |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | sunk818 | 10/21/10 10:49 PM | Because of user logins and various versions of Windows, a simple way to navigate is to right click on Chrome shortcut and select Properties. You will see the directory the app is in. From there go up one, then go to User Data, Default, then rename We |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | doak47 | 10/23/10 5:00 AM | rmcca09's renaming web data solution actually does the job. It retains ur profile, history etc. everything except for the search engines data(searcing by keywords in the address bar) and will be left with the default(Google, Yahoo and Bing) and btw |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | doak47 | 10/23/10 5:03 AM | FYI: i performed this solution on chrome 8 dev to chrome 7 stable. So, it still works. |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | leehinde | 10/23/10 9:44 AM | In Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome (renaming Web Data worked for me) |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | annaknight01 | 10/25/10 5:44 PM | found a better way to fix this problem, goto Google Chrome options (top down menu) then click on Basics then where it says Default search: (will be ghosted out) click on Manage and type in the Google.com URL then save. |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | RKN007 | 1/17/11 1:34 AM | For Windows 7 Open - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default then rename Web Data to Web Data-old. |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | BlackSwan88 | 2/2/11 10:20 PM | SimVales advice worked for me. Unfortunately, after browsing the Web for a couple of weeks without clearing my history, the problem quickly returned. So this is not a complete fix and given knowledge of the bug for such a long time, I am disappointe |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | doak47 | 2/2/11 10:51 PM | @blackswan88 no it won't come back again, once the default folder(the folder from another installation is renamed) then its only left with the basic files needed for chrome run(even ur history is washed off) You probably went up to beta or some versi |

| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | dougkramer | 7/28/11 4:05 PM | Just wanted to clarify leehinde's advice for Mac. To be exact, look in "Default" directory: In Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/ renaming Web Data worked for me |
| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | Jimkat40 | 9/7/11 7:52 PM | I followed the suggestion to rename the Web Data to "Web Data-Old" and by golly it worked!. Thanks! |

| Re: your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of google chrome | Sie_Deen | 2/23/12 4:30 PM | Hi folks,This can happen if you downgrade channels (i.e. going from Chrome Dev to Chrome Stable), since later versions contains new changes that are not yet available on earlier versions. Are any of you seeing this even when you have never switched |
