But when I go to that folder, and look for a file or folder called `Profile' (and even search for it), there's nothing.

That folder is the profile folder.

There is a folder called "Data", as I said, but it always used to be within a folder called "Profile".
Renaming "Data" would do the same job as renaming "Profile" of course, but it's a bit of a mystery to me why the OP doesn't seem to have a folder called "Profile"!
Has this in fact been changed in more recent versions of Opera?

I haven't seen "profile" since Opera Presto, I've seen >> Opera Software > Opera Stable / Beta / Developer > Data

But I use custom paths for profiles so maybe in some point was called Profile but I didn't noticed.

And they will appear only in standalone/portable installations.

In a regular installation there is no folder called 'profile'. Even in Presto there wasn't one if I remember correctly.

Profile folder is just a way to call the folder that stores the user data.

Thanks for the clarification @leocg. I've always used standalone installations of Opera because I'm its only user, and I prefer all its files being in one place. I didn't realise that the folder structure was actually different in a standard installation, as well as being in a different place of course!
Sorry for the confusion @rjas21. I'll remember that for the future!
My advice still stands, just substitute "Data" for "Profile"!

Is this where I give you the heartbreaking news that there's no file or folder named `Data' either?

Oh!
Well in that case try my suggestion of searching your hard drive for a file called "Bookmarks" (with no file extension).
That's the file that stores (you guessed it) your Opera bookmarks and Speed Dial data.
It should definitely be in your profile/data folder, wherever it is!
If you can't find that file, I'm truly stumped!

Menu > About Opera

Check the path for 'Profile'. That folder is your 'profile' folder.

We've said this several times!
@rjas21
Please look at "About Opera" and tell us exactly what it says after "Profile:" in the list of paths.
You can highlight it and copy and paste it into your message.
