All my data has been wiped out.

@LaurentPine TBH I tried everything before I reinstalled.
I simply don't have the time to trawl through help and forums at the moment.
I also use Firefox as a back up these days... -

not even the first time this has happened their team has implemented so many features that just don't work or break with every update and make it a frustration to use any of their products

@neilpwa This sounds like Opera may have opened a new or empty profile after the update rather than actually deleting everything.
First, don’t start adding bookmarks or changing settings. Go to opera:about and look at the Profile path. Then check that folder and see whether your old Bookmarks file is still there. Opera specifically recommends checking the profile location this way, and that folder contains your bookmarks, sessions, preferences, and other data.
Also check whether you were signed into Opera Sync. Your bookmarks and Speed Dial entries may still be synced to your account.
There’s a decent chance your data is still sitting in the old profile. I’d look for that before doing anything drastic.

@malcolmparkedhere Honestly I've tried this. I was fortunate enough to back up my bookmarks but I lost everything else. I do use a password manager as well so wasn't too catastrophic. My speed dials, pin boards etc, all gone. I have also had really frustrating problems with Flow. For some reason I opened the browser one day and the Flow screen was blank. I never got that working again until I did a completely clean reinstall. I've had other problems to for which I have never heard back from Opera support.
I've used Opera for years but have come close to giving up with it because the help or support is nonexistant. -

I see, I’m really sorry to hear that. Honestly, the only thing I can think of is regularly backing up the whole Opera profile folder, especially if you’re having problems like this more than once. It’s a pain, but at least you’d have a way to get things back instead of starting from scratch. I hope everything works out!

@neilpwa Sorry for that but you can't get it back. You can only get your points back
