Opera isn't saving settings and bookmarks

After a routinary CCleaer cleanup, Opera doesn't save new bookmarks and existing bookmarks dated after July, 3 are missing. So I tried to use "restore data and settings", but after the reset, not only were previous problems not resolved, but now I can't save my browser settings. When I restart it, Opera returns to default.
I imported bookmarks previously saved in .html but after restarting Opera they are missing.
I noticed that files named Bookmarks aren't stored any more in
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default
What's going wrong? Another minor issue ("reader mode" not available in lateral bar) started after updating Opera about 10 days ago.
Should I uninstall and reinstall it?

@etelka Most probably CCleaner messed up with Opera's profile directory. You can try creating a new one and see if data is saved again.

Also see this post for another cause for Opera not saving things on exit.

Thanks for the reply.
I have Avast antivirus on my pc. It was set to auto update, but for some reason the June program update was still pending. After performing it, all Opera features were restored, except the availability of "Reader Mode" from the lateral bar.
