Hi I am not a native English speaker so please excuse any mistakes.
I am having since several updates ago (2) problems with updating the browser, when I click on the option to update and recover the browser does the restart as usual but does not update, the notification of a new update appears again.
When researching I saw that the most feasible solution was to reinstall the program by downloading the latest version and installing it.
But when I try to try it, I get this error (it is translated)
"The execution of the code cannot continue because it was not found. opera_elf.dll This problem can be solved by reinstalling the program." after this error appears I can't open the browser anymore and I have to restart my pc to use it.Well, I would do the reinstallation and do it, but I have folders with saved pages that I need for my work. I am afraid of losing all my info in the browser.
Is there any way to back them up, back up all my browser info before uninstalling?
Thank you very much

Uninstall Opera again (but don't choose to delete your data when asked). You can also back up "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" before-hand just in case.
Then, delete the Opera install folder. It should be in "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs" depending on your how you installed Opera.
Then, delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp".
Then, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", uncheck "import data from default browser", adjust the other options as you like and install.

Thanks for reply.
Well, with the surprise that I can't uninstall either. i get an error.
i searched in this forum and recommend manual uninstallation which is not a recommendation or solution at all, it's a huge problem and a large procress.i saw a comment of yours also advising to use the promt comant with
"C:\Program Files "Opera launcher.exe" /uninstall /runimmediately /deleteuserprofile=0
but it doesn't work. -

@ajelandrop Okay. Just manually delete the install folder and clear everything in the 2 temp folders. Then download and install Opera.

@burnout426 Hi, I already did the manual uninstall. I saved a back up and deleted everything as you told me. but it was not necessaryt the back up. i just reinstalled and opened the program with everything backed up in it hahaha.

Thanks so much again
