I wanted to clean space on drive and deleted all profiles in about:profiles except the active one

after that all my cookies disappeared - i.e. all my logins

at the same time, all the rest - all the history, the installed extensions, the settings - it all was kept - as it should have been, since i didn't touch my active/used profile, right?

so the question is, why in the world the cookies were deleted? can they be stored in some other profile? If yes, then why?!!! It's super counter-intuitive

this is particularly frustrating because i was foolish enough to not save my content on one web-service where i didn't have an account and was identified by a cookie

does anyone have any clues how this could happen? I want to avoid this in future and not be afraid to delete unused profiles
