Deleting Multiple Versions of Opera

I was attempting to install an Adobe update when I was informed that I didn't have enough disc space, so I decided to uninstall a number of applications I don't use any longer. It was then that I noticed that there were two instances of "Opera Stable" in the applications list.
I decided I would uninstall both of them and re-install the latest version. I uninstalled one just fine, then when I attempted to uninstall the other (101.0.4843.43), I got an error message that reads, "Windows cannot find 'C\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
At which point, I tried to install the most recent version, assuming it would delete the older version in the process, but I got an error message telling me, "Cannot install Opera on top of existing installation."
How can I uninstall this previous version of Opera and delete all associated files before installing the new version? I right-clicked on the installer.exe file in the 101.0.4843.43 thinking there might be an uninstall option but there wasn't.
I have two other folders inside the Opera folder, 82.0.4227.33 and 101.0.4843.33. The first one has but two files in it, "assistant_package" and mojo_core.dll. The second folder appears to have an entire installation within it (see screencap).
How can I clean all this up so that I can re-install with the latest version?

@czarkhasm Since you are going to reinstall the current version, you can remove the content of C\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera
