My Computer opens

Yes. You then goto the c: drive, then Users, then your username, then appdata, then Roaming, then Opera Software, then Opera Developer.

@burnout426 oh, alright, i did that and that seems to be the problem, after AppData, there's 'Local' file, 'Microsoft', 'Windows' and then two empty files 'INetCache' and INetCookies' and nothing else

There should be "roaming" too.

Delete the "appdata/local/Opera Software/Opera Developer/cache" folder and see if that does it.

Delete the "appdata/Roaming/Opera Software/Opera Developer" folder then to wipe out your Opera profile and start over. If you need to back things up first, let me know.

i can't manage to delete an unfinished download from my 'downloads',

Are you talking about your download folder in Windows or the download page at opera://downloads in Opera?

Glad it's gone. If I find out what file in the profile folder stores the bad entries like that, I'll post here for future reference.
