If you want to remove Opera from your computer, follow these instructions:

  • Go to the Control Panel
  • Click and hold on Start with the right mouse button and select Control Panel

  • Click on Start
  • Open File Explorer
  • Click on the “View” tab at the top.
  • Click on “Options” on the right side of the screen and open it.
  • Inside the open window, click on the “View” tab to enable the option “Show hidden files, folders, and drives,” and click on “Apply” and “OK.”
  • Then, navigate to the hidden folder – C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software and remove it.
  • The second hidden folder contains the user cache. It must also be removed. You will find it here – C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Opera Software.

After you remove the last folder, all the components of the Opera browser will be removed from your computer.
