Accidentally I cleared chrome history/downloads. Now the history has c.a 30 links and 1 downloaded file. However the History
SQLite file is ~28MB. If I open it as a plain text, I can see the old urls there. however if I open it in some SQLite browser, I see only the new ones. Anyone has knowledge what could be the case?

1SQLite database files don't shrink; instead, the freed sections of the database are added to a free list. If you want to actually free them and shrink the file, run the `VACUUM` command. – Colonel Thirty Two Nov 24 '14 at 13:09

After long fight I was able to extract this data and I inserted it back into SQLite file. Now I can see it in SQLite viewer but chrome doesn't show it in history – Mike Nov 24 '14 at 21:25
