Hi, I really need someone's help, I've gone through FAQs and this forum, can't find out how to recover my last session on Opera. It closed and lost all my 120+ tabs, all vital for my work. I had "retain previous session" in settings, it never did this before. I tried updating browser, didn't work. I've gone to index files directory, but there's nothing anywhere titled "Last Session,"--just "Current," and Log.old, etc. Can anyone please help me fix this? I had literally 120 vital work tabs, all gone now. Thank you for any help!

@leocg Damn, but I see all these other posts talking about recovering last session through the directory, renaming "current" as "last session" and vice versa... are those meaningless and useless? (I couldn't find anything called "Last Session" anywhere in directory.) Also am confused--if Opera closes, the only option is to reopen it, so I don't understand what else I could possibly have done.

@leocg In case this helps you help me... screenshots of both "Sessions" and "Sessions Storage" folders. But when I open any of the links, in Notepad, it's a giant list of codes, I have no idea what to do with any of it. Thanks again for any help!
I can't believe they're all gone, must be recoverable somehow.

@cdcook Those are your current and last sessions and opened tabs.
You can backup those files and try playing with them.
Close Opera, leave just one of the files in the folder, start Opera and see what happens. Do the same for the other files and also try combining them -

@leocg Thanks, I'll try that--but can you clarify, which "files" are you referring to, and when you say leave them there, do you mean delete all the other files? Or what does it mean to "keep one of those files open?" Thanks if you can clarify. Is there a way for me to identify which of these files is that previous session from a couple days ago, the one I want to keep and use/go back to?
Thank you again for any help. -

@cdcook Same happened here tonight. Shocked at the utter disregard displayed by the developers here.. A few days ago did an update and Opera came back completely reset, all my passwords gone - Work passwords!
Then this evening, restarted Opera, 400 tabs had vanished, Work tabs! Utter disaster, complete disrespect for users.
Looks very hard to me that Opera developers are trying to kill Opera
