Trying to Restore Google Chrome User Data

I'm trying to restore Google Chrome User Data, but when I open Chrome - after pasting the backup files - I get this message.

Profile error occurred. Something went wrong when opening your profile. Some features may be unavailable.

I got the backup folder with ShadowExplorer. Any idea what's going wrong?

If you are on Windows, try deleting the file "web data" in :

C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/UserData/Default

And if it doesn't work then also "Local State" File in:

C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/UserData

If you can't see the folder or the files, they may be marked as hidden. Take backups before deleting.
