        This morning when I opened Opera, everything was reset to default - no tabs, no speed dial, no bookmarks, no passwords.

        Does anyone know if it was all deleted or if it can be restored from somewhere?

        Thank you

          I opened Opera last night and all my bookmarks, saved passwords and extensions are all gone. Was there an update that has caused this, and how do I get them back again?

            @markoze When still on Opera I used Tab Hamster which worked fine. But with all the faults on Opera I´d recommend to consider changing to Vivaldi (only came back to this thread to thank the person which recommended it).

              @ledsalesoz Came back to thank you again for bringing up Vivaldi. I´m really happy to have such a rich, working! browser at hand.
              A browser is such an important thing for everybody on the net, so it was a hard decision to leave the one I used such a long time. Now that I´ve been working with Vivaldi for months, I think it is even better than Opera ever was. And as for the workspaces: it has them. Only to arrange them the way they are presented on Opera you have to work a little bit. Hope that answers your question. If not, dm. All the best!

                Restored it, at least for now.
                See the topic How do I get back to the old opera.

                      I opened Opera this morning to see it wiped everything, including my wallpapers, my passwords, my website autofills, my bookmarked websites. My Opera account still exists but it is completely wiped. I can't recover anything with "recovery and updates".
                      I need help if anyone can fix this.

                        Hello,
                        My Opera has suddenly reset to a basic state. I had sync enabled but I have a question: if I log in now, will all data restore itself or do I have to do something? Won't the zero state send itself to the cloud?

                              I've been using Opera for many years and a recent automatic update on 10/5/2023 removed all of my history, bookmarks, saved settings, etc. I opened the browser as usual, the update was applied, and all of my saved data was wiped. I have no idea why this happened and I need help recovering my saved data. If anyone else has had this experience or knows how I can recover or revert back to a previous version, please help.

                                The update from Opera seems to have deleted my bookmarks and speeddial. I can no longer find a backup copy of the file anywhere where it contains the correct links. Is there any way to roll back the update and recover Opera and my bookmarks???

                                    Hi, after starting up my PC this morning, Opera had basically resetted back to default settings on its own, deleting all settings, bookmarks, cookies, browser history, extensions and anything else you can imagine.

                                    It would obviously be extremely helpful if I didn't have to start over with my browser, so any idea if there is a way to restore that?

                                    I tried looking up where all of this information is supposed to be stored, I found the folder C:/User/.../AppData/Roaming/Opera Software/Opera Stable where I think this is all supposed to be but I don't know. There seems to be a lot of stuff in there but I can't make heads or tails of it nor be sure whethere all my settings are or aren't in there.

                                    Tried rebooting my PC a couple times, other than that, don't really know what to do, the general tips from the forum obviously don't work because most of them rely on setting Opera back to default or disabling extensions which obviously is exactly the problem I would like not to have.

                                    Would be very grateful of some help.

                                    Windows version is Windows 10 Version 22H2, Opera version is 103.0.4928.16

                                        @leocg for me, just deleting the folder did nothing. But the steps in this Reddit post fixed it : IMG_8878.jpeg

                                            I am assuming that an update to Opera had been performed automatically. I opened the browser for the first time today, and absolutely everything is missing.
                                            I have no Bookmarks, my Speed Dial is all missing, there is not even any browsing history. The history goes back 20 minutes ago, when I opened the browser today.

                                            I had tons of bookmarks...many to sites for paying my bills, accessing mortgage information, etc.
                                            Please tell me that Opera performs a backup of those items prior to an update and that I don't have to try to rebuild all of the bookmarks and speed dial entries. I don't think I can do that and capture everything that is gone.
