      @rennansalles Opera doesn't have an option to automatically clear history. There must be an issue with saving to the History file in Opera's profile folder (goto the URL opera://about for the path).

      While Opera is closed, you could delete the History file to see if it fixes things.

      Or, if you're using Opera Sync, it could be causing the problem. Log out of Opera Sync for a while and see if the problem goes away.

        @rennansalles All history? Or history from a certain period of time?

          I should clarify. While Opera doesn't have a setting to automatically clear history, Opera only retains 3 months of history and discards entries older than that.

              @rennansalles History file may got be corrupted. Anything unusual happened? Crash, power failure, etc?

                No, I already uninstalled it, installed it again, updated it and nothing.

                    @rennansalles I don't think it would help in this case.

                    Do a backup of the History file, then delete the original and test for about a week and see if history is kept.

                      Where is the history file located?

                        @rennansalles In the profile directory. See opera://about for the path.
