      Hi,

      One of the niggles I have with the sync option in Opera is that if I sign in and allow it to sync I get a bunch of really old bookmarks and what not back into my browser. So my question is ....

      Is there a way to clear out ALL of the sync info being held in my account so I can use my current Opera to create a new updated sync so if I install Opera elsewhere I'm getting the newest and most up to date info installed there.

      Thanks so much
      Richard

        @ramwolff57 You can go to www.sync.opera.com and click on the option to reset your passphrase. It will reset your synced data.

          @leocg Hi. Seems odd that I have to change my password to reset my data. The system needs to be updated to allow for deletion of old data!

            @ramwolff57 You can use the same passphrase. If you never set up one, you don't need to do anything after resetting the passphrase.

                  @mahmoudrashidy The data on the servers will be removed for good.
