      @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
