default address in google maps on opera

Thanks, but there's nothing there.
I forgot to mention in my previous post that I'd uninstalled/reinstalled Opera. That would probably have cleared any stored addresses, but the unwanted address still appears.
I've just tried turning off autofill (even tho there wasn't anything there) & exiting/restarting opera....it didn't resolve it.
I also used CCleaner & selected all of the possible sections for opera, including "saved form information"....it also didn't sort out the problem.
I've just installed opera on my phone, went to google maps & the address is not there. I uninstalled & tried with opera mini....ditto
Maybe it's not opera itself but some interaction between google maps & opera for windows? If so how do I find out what & how can I change it?
& why the one address that has very emotional associations & not other addresses from before or since? That's a rhetorical question, though I'd be seriously impressed if you could answer it

Hi
As I wrote in my initial post, my home address is set to different address to the one I want to get rid of. I've just deleted my home address & re-entered it, just in case....nope, although my home address is where I live now, the unwanted one still appears in the map search field by default
Thanks anyway & any other suggestions welcomed

I selected then clicked X..........what would the difference be?I've just tried again using shift + delete but that doesn't seem to do anything. I can't select my home address without it opening, I tried R click but there's nothing. It seems that the only way to delete is with the X.............unless there's a way I don't know about.
Just to be clear: my home address is the only thing saved in "Your Places" & it's a different address to the one I want to get rid of
Thanks

I see it as soon as the page opens, it's there by default. Ditto in a private window

I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to a clean profile
So far I've:
- Deleted my maps history in both opera on my PC & my phone (so they couldn’t sync), but it keeps reappearing in maps on the PC
- Checked opera autofill settings….there’re no addresses stored there. I turned off autofill & exited/restarted opera….same issue
- Used CCleaner & selected all of the possible sections for opera, including "saved form information"....it also didn't sort out the problem
- Installed opera on my phone, went to google maps & the address is not there. I uninstalled & tried with opera mini....ditto
- Uninstalled Opera with CCleaner, including all cookies
- Manually deleted all opera folders still left in C:\
- Used regedit to find & delete all “Opera” or “operastable” entries
- Reinstalled opera
I’ve looked at my google account & the only thing I can see even vaguely relating to that address is in data & personalisation > web & app activity > manage activity - it tells me that yesterday I viewed the area around the unwanted address, but it doesn’t have that specific address, just the area it’s in
I’ve just signed into my google account on a different PC & opened maps & the address is not there. There shouldn’t be any trace of this address on my PC after the cleaning I carried out above. I’m very puzzled that it only happens in opera for windows & only on this machine
I’m not only frustrated by this, I’m now also intrigued….it’s become a puzzle to solve!

Don't know if you deleted the Opera folders with your data.
