So I keep way too many tabs open at the same time. But, I recently discovered a new feature -- how to lose those tabs easily!
Just open a new incognito window, then go to 'settings'...it'll open in a non-incognito window and you'll not have your tabs remembered next time you open a normal window. Presumably, this wouldn't have happened if I had Chrome open in standard mode, as well, but if done while only browsing incognito, say bye!
Of course, I was able to grab them from my 'history'...but it is a bit of a pain.

Google Chrome > Huge History File
I noticed that my new(ish) SSD drive was really running low on space. I've been really careful to map all my user files to my larger HDDs so I didn't anticipate this happening. I tried running Disk Cleanup to no avail.
I finally ran WinDirStat and found a huge, 21GB 'History' file in my "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\" folder. I was able to simply delete it (I closed Chrome first, but am not sure if it was necessary). To be fair, I tried clearing my history through Chrome first...no luck. I've heard that a properly configured CCleaner would have done the job as well.
Hope this helps someone!
