Hi emyani,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're looking to recover a Favorites folder, and we're glad to see how we can help.
For verification, it sounds like you're referring to a folder in your Bookmarks or Favorites for Safari. Is that right?
Are you using iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks? If so, see if the steps below help: Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using iCloud.com
"Restore your Safari bookmarks and Reading List
- On iCloud.com, go to Account Settings, then click Restore Bookmarks in the Advanced section.
- Available bookmarks can be sorted by Date Deleted, Name or Folder.
- To the right of the version you want to restore, click Restore.
- There may be more versions than can be shown at once. Scroll to see more.
- Note: Wait until iCloud finishes restoring your Safari bookmarks and Reading List before you change them. During the restore process, any changes you make are not saved.
The restored bookmarks and Reading List appear on all your devices set up for iCloud Safari.
If you change your mind, you can restore the Safari bookmarks and Reading List you were using. Simply follow the steps above to restore the most recent version available."
Let us know if that works for you!
Kindest regards.
