Opera misconfiguration persists after reinstall

Better address bar disappeared from flags, but typing lagged anyway, so I disabled pretty much everything in flags. This ended the typing lag, but now I get a blank page for settings. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Opera, but I still am denied access to settings - also bookmarks. Is there a way in Linux Mint 18.3 to get up to date Opera to forget it has ever been installed?

Deleting your ~/.config/opera folder will remove any customisation you have done to opera yourself. This will really reset opera to its default settings for you, but you will also lose bookmarks, addons, history etc.
If you do not want to delete it, you can always rename it or move it somewhere else. However, I have no idea how you will get your bookmarks from there.

@jimunderscorep Thank you. I'll reset it. Re-customizing it will be irritating. As for bookmarks, Bookmarks Import & Export by Martin Sermak is an extension for Opera. I find that it works, although the Export and Import processes ignore nested folders, so nested folders are flattened and saved as regular folders.

@metarhyme You can try going to opera://update/ and reset your Opera.
