      Rename or delete "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" and "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable".

        ¿?
        If ...\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable is needed also for the cache, then should be added to the FAQ.

          You only need to change the cache folder name if you want to create a new cache folder.

              Meanwhile my other post are being moderated... :rolleyes:

              Do you have your download list empty?
              If not, try clearing it and test again, never knows...

                So a corrupt cache could mess the test in a clean profile, right?
                If so,

                @Wildch1ld

                change the cache folder name and restarted opera folder magically reappears....

                Did you renamed both, the profile (\Roaming) and cache (\Local) folders?
                If not try and test.

                  But could any cache problem reproduce again the problem?

                  You mean the problem reappears?
                  You have to rename Profile folder, to use this could be another option.

                    I don't think it's related to cache. Anyway, just cleaning it would be enough.

                          I had some profile problems were clean site cookies and cache was not enough...
                          Hummm, remembering... maybe 3rd party data were left or another involved cookie...
