Super User Asked on December 20, 2021
I believe I somehow messed up my user profile directories with my Chromium installation. Every time I launch Chromium, it tells me:
Chromium cannot read and write to its data directory:
C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromiumUser Data
It lets me choose another directory, and if I choose C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromium
, then it launches fine. I can also add the command line argument --user-data-dir
to point to the directory.
However, how can I modify the default (currently C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromiumUser Data
) data directory to change it to the correct one? I don’t only get this error when opening Chromium, but also when an application tries open my default browser.
Solved it by doing the following:
C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromiumUser Data
, since there was no real profiles in it anyway.C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromiumUser DataDefault
, without any bother. Then closed Chromium.C:UsersMarkAppDataLocalChromiumDefault
) in to the newly created profile, then start Chromium. It detects it and runs without any hassle.Answered by Mark on December 20, 2021
