So the other day I reinstalled opera gx because the folder was taking 25GB of my ssd. Now is taking 8GB and going up. Is a known bug?

the folder with the file is that one:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\File System\002\t\00

pd: even if i delete cache files of that folder still there.

I could not verify this issue. This is my About box:

The size of the profile tree structure is 261,476,238 bytes
The size of the cache tree structure is 465,715,226 bytes

Some questions:

1. What web pages are you accessing?
2. Do you have any extensions installed?
3. Have you tried disabling or removing any extensions?

So I use it for normal web browsing (outlook,gmail etc) and also for twitch.

I deleted those Big gb files while opera gx was open and they delete just fine so i guess they are not that important¿?

I use the extensions: install google chrome extensions by opera, and streamkeys wich allows me to control media of the sites with the keyboard keys.

Is strange because it takes like 1-2 days to the files start growing in size. I dont remember it happening with normal opera and same extensions. Testing it now
