Sync Data Removed

If the synch information is deleted is there any way to recover it on the Opera's side ?

I really don't know. I guess it may depend on how the data was deleted and how long ago.

Hi,

I've used a freeware undelete programme to recover. I managed to recover the Opera Stable folder under the Roaming folder where I believe Opera stores all the bookmark information in AppData. How could I recover from here ? Should I simply copy paste all the files there, or what is the right way to do it to when I open Opera I would see all my old bookmarks ?

Just copy the "Bookmarks' files and paste them into current Opera's profile folder.

The profile folder is in Programme files or AppData ? I copy pasted all files that have bookmarks in it (bookmarks extras etc.) in the Opera stable folder under AppData-Roaming and it didn't work. I can't see them. Could you explain a little bit more or is there any tutorials in the forum that I could check if you don't have time

Check at Menu > About Opera

So the bookmarks manager shows nothing? Have you checked if those files had any content in it? You can do it by opening the 'Bookmarks' file in a text editor.

Yes they have content some sort of codes. But I can't see the bookmarks. I have copy pasted documents like Bookmarks, Bookmarks.bak, BookmarksExtras, and variations of BookmarksExtras like RF298374usdf at the end of them.

If the file contains bookmarks info then you should see something like:

"date_added": "13119581735090491",
                  "id": "41",
                  "meta_info": {

                      "imageIdentifier": "3d863df5",
                     "imageType": "2"
              }    ,
                  "name": "Frequently Asked Questions (Forum) - Opera Forums",
                  "sync_transaction_version": "45",
                  "type": "url",
                  "url": "https://forums.opera.com/topic/11528/frequently-asked-questions-forum-last-update-2017-03-24    forum#Item_1"

If you can't see it then the files conains none of your bookmarks.

Hi again,

I've sent mails to the social network connections of staff as you said but they haven't replied me. Is there anyone specific for me to mail about this ? Maybe I've mailed wrong people. People that can adress me to opera help would be ok too.

Mails? I didn't say to send any mails but to try to contact them through their social networks. So you should go to Opera's Facebook page and post a comment their or post on Twitter mentioning them.
