I would like to re-load JD2 but not lose all the links currently in my Downloads & Linkgrabber tabs. What would be the best method/process to do this?

One of the reasons has been the recent issue with the Link Collector freezing but I think that there is a solution for that...

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you're having too many links in list and memory is too restricted. Please check about dialog of JDownloader. There you'll find 3 memory numbers.In case the 2nd is near the 3rd one, then you've reached memory limit and need to provide more memory to JDownloader. Open the .vmoptions files and remove all -Xmx and -Xms lines and add new one, like
-Xmx1g

all settings/accounts are stored within the cfg folder. you can backup/copy it and the do a clean install (if you want to and memory is not cause of the issue), then you simply restore/replace the new cfg folder with old one

Yes, have reached memory limit but can only find .vmoptions.backup_1 or _2 files. I have removed over 2000 Offline links and 1000 links from the LinkGrabber but I still get the memory issue. JD2 won't update any longer; have loads of issues with Captchas & certain file hosts so thought it might be better to re-install.

Rather than copy the cfg folder, I was going to copy over just the downloadList & linkcollector .backup & .zip files. Would that work?

Any other ideas before I go for the clean install option?

Of course you can just copy the downloadList/linkCollector but then all other settings/accounts will be lost and you'll need to setup those again.

What OS do you use? in case it's no *old* installation, you should find several .vmoptions file in your JDownloader folder.

What are the shown numbers for memory in about dialog?

OS is Win10 Pro 1803.17134.112 and I believe that I installed JD2 at the same time as upgrading to W10 (08/2015).

The Memory data is (160.94MB/247.50MB/247.50MB) After I had cleared out all the offline links & moved some of the links out of the LinkGrabber tab, I had got the numbers down to (160.94/197.50/247.50) but as soon as I added some links, it maxxed out.

Go to your JDownloader and open the .vmoptions file with notepad
now remove all lines with -Xmx and -Xms
and add new one with -Xmx1g
to allow up to 1 gig of memory
Your JDownloader is limited to 256mb of ram and that's causing the issues you encounter
