<![CDATA[[Solved]Opera saved data deleted on Shutdown and deleted or disabled extensions keep coming back]]>I have been plagued with my saved data, mainly bookmarks, being deleted on PC shutdown and extensions I have deleted or disabled coming back.

As a result of this, I have to keep reclaiming the data if I can from memory and again deleting the extensions every time I shutdown. It is damned annoying. One of the disabled extensions is "Close & Clean", which keeps coming back enabled, there are others.

I have checked Settings and cannot find any problem.

Can anybody PLEASE tell me what is going on and how to stop it. HOW can I delete an extension so that it NEVER COMES BACK ?

End of path is Opera Stable. Is this the file I rename ? If so, what do I call it ?

You rename the folder name from "opera stable" to, let's say, "opera stable old".

I use Sandboxie to open the browser. I checked the settings and found that Sandboxie by default did not have access to my Opera profile.
This meant that all changes made during a Sandboxie session were not passed on to my Opera profile. I enabled Sandboxie to access my Opera profile.

I went through all my lost changes and added them yet again using an unsandboxed browser. Did the same for the extensions I wish to delete.
I shut down my PC and rebooted. Used Sandboxie in the normal way on opening the browser and ALL the changes made plus the deleted extensions were exactly as I had corrected.

So, it was Sandboxie that prevented changes being passed on to my profile and fixed. Now Sandboxie can access my profile folder, all is OK.

Rename Opera's profile folder (see the path in menu > about Opera)
Use Opera for a while, make changes
Shutdown the computer and check it the changes are kept.

Like I said, I do have "Close & Clean" which I only set at Cache, but when the PC is closed it goes back to default settings where other items are cleaned.

I have tried to delete extensions using the "X", but they keep coming back. I have looked at Opera program files but cannot find one that contains extensions. At present "Close & Clean" is disabled but it will come back enabled after the next shutdown. I have never had this happen before on any browser.

Or just when you shutdown the computer?

Do you run any software that cleans data from the computer?
