          @leocg Yes, only history is removed, when I exit the browser and then open it again, the history is empty but the rest is still

            @theliriox Try renaming the History file in Opera's profile directory. Check opera://about for the path.

                @theliriox You do it in Windows Explorer. Just paste the path to the profile directory in Explorer address bar, find the History file and rename it.

                    @theliriox What exactly you do not understand?

                    • Open Opera
                    • Type opera://about in address bar
                    • Press Enter
                    • Under Directories find the path to profile
                    • Copy it. Copy the full address
                    • Close Opera
                      _ Open Windows Explorer
                    • Paste the path to Opera's profile directory, that you have copied before, into the address bar
                    • Press enter
                    • Find the History file
                    • Right click on it
                    • Click on Rename
                    • Change the file name to history old
                    • Open Opera
                    • Visit a few sites
                    • Close Opera
                    • Open Opera again
                    • Check if History is still saved

                      I already did it and my history keeps getting deleted because what happens is that when I close the operation the history file is deleted and when I enter another one is created

                        @theliriox So every time you open Opera, opera://history is empty? However if you add a bookmark, you still see it in opera://bookmarks?

                            @theliriox Are you using regular windows to navigate on the web? Any extension or program that may be hiding your traces on the internet?

                              @leocg I use normal navigation, I do not know if some antivurus can block but I uninstalled the one I had and left the default and it continues to erase my history but the rest remains
