<![CDATA[Size Of Opera Stable Profile Folder Issue]]>Hi, I have two laptops (windows 7) using the newest Opera R3. Once a week I back up my computer and also use WinRar to archive the Opera Stable profile folder. On my wife's laptop, when I backed up and WinRared her profile folder, the resulting archive was over 503 mb, where as a couple months ago it was but 83 mb. The IndexedDB folder is over 1 gb, and I don't know why this is. On my laptop, my IndexedDB is but 184 mb, and my wife browses less than I do.

What is the IndexedDB folder and is there any way to reduce it's size. What happens if I delete the contents??

Thanks for any help

Basically it stores data from sites.

By the way, I don't think there are reasons to always delete those folders on exit.

Thanks for the reply

I guess you can delete the folder content without any major issue.
