Its happened again! It seems like every two days my history is being deleted and only the history of the last 2 days remain!
Can someone please explain this serious debacle?! -

The issue hasn't happened since I lasted posted here. I think there is a bug in the "delete history below" feature because what I've come to notice is that everytime I've used the feature to clear selected search and shutdown my browser; I'd come to find all history 2 days prior deleted the next day. As I've not used the feature the last 12 days nothing seems to have been deleted from my history.

I tried to reproduce the lost history problem in Opera 89.0.4447.83 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 (Build 22000.856) when using "delete history below" at the URL
opera://history, but could not.I would try 2 things, if you want. First, log out of Opera Sync (and stay logged out for a bit) and try using "delete history below" to see if you can still trigger the problem or not. Might be a sync issue that's actually triggering the loss of your history. Second, test "delete history below" in a standalone installation to see if you can trigger the problem there or not. If not, you might have some issues/corruption in your regular Opera profile that's causing the history loss.

@yungtokyo Damn it didn't even occur to me that regardless of browser; Google keeps my history in my account.

@burnout426 Well I'm not willing to lose my current history right now; so I might be a bit unwilling to do these tests.

@beacon07 if your history got disappeared then go to google and search my account history and you will get your all browser history...
That's not your browser's history, but your Google search history only. It could be of use in some cases though.

That's why @burnout426 suggested using a standalone version (or portable version) to do the tests.

@alobpreis So I just install another Opera browser on my system along with the one I already have?
There isn't going to be any issues if I do this right? -

So to keep this post updated and let everyone know that this is an official bug! I never got around to testing it out myself to find out but I guess someone did! And therefore the issue has been presented here:- https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/known_issues/#wiki_deleting_history_entries_can_wipe_out_all_history_when_opera_sync_is_enabled
@burnout426 Informs me that the bug hasn't been solved yet. -
