      I have 4 versions of Opera (25, 26, 29, 37) installed on my PC which runs Windows 8.1 OS. I want to uninstall all Opera versions and then perform a clean install of only the current Opera version. Why can't I uninstall these other versions of Opera? Thanks a lot.- keimanzero

        Just delete their folders, keeping just the one for the current version.

          Maybe they are on the Registry but the installer/uninstaller it's deleted.

          If you have a back up of your needed data, try using iObit Uninstaller, will delete left files even if has uninstall problems.

          You can use the PortableApps.com version.

                agree with "Just delete their folders, keeping just the one for the current version."
                i got the same problem, just remove the folder after that i can uninstall it from control panel.
