<![CDATA[How can I get my Opera settings back from a backup?]]>I was pretty sure I had made an Opera account before, but apparently not. I have copies of all my Opera files on my external HDD, and I want to get Opera back to how it was set (bookmarks, extensions, etc.). Am I able to do that with the files I have? And how can I do that?

Alright. Thanks for trying to help though.

These are all the files in my original Opera Stable folder: 0_1538378839066_opera3.png
Do I not have the right files?

And yes, you will lost your current data.

Depending on what you want to recover, you can try pasting just a few files.

In help page there is a section about backup that may be useful.

Here are the Opera folders I have on my external HDD: 0_1538010034697_opera.png

And here is the folder on my SSD where Opera is currently saved: 0_1538010060257_opera2.png

Are you telling me to copy one of the Opera Stable files from my external HDD to this Opera Stable folder? Will that overwrite what is currently in the new folder? Because I have extensions and stuff installed in the new Opera, and I would like to revert everything back to the way it was with the files on my external HDD. I assume I have to delete the current Opera profile files to be able to use the old ones, correct?

You should paste all the content of the old one into the new one.

I went to C:\Users\tAppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable, which is where my profile is supposed to be, but I'm not seeing it. Which file am I supposed to paste into exactly?

If you are using s new computer or have reinstalled your OS, you will not be able to use your saved passwords.

Where do I go to find the profiles so I can paste it?
