Hi.
I've seen an old topic about this. An author asked about it 4 years ago. There is an answer that feature will be added in the future. I can't find any option for such action right now. Can I delete a device from synchronisation list or not?
Thanks!

@kxdimon You can try in other speed dials but I don't know if it will completely remove the device from sync.

I am trying to remove a device from opera and it won't happen, I guess there is not a solution for this yet...

Go to Settings (Preferences on Mac).
Click Browser in the sidebar.
Under Synchronization, click on the Advanced Configuration button.
Tick or untick the checkboxes subsequent to the information sorts you desire to sync.

I have the same problem. I did a reset of my synced data but in the "opera://startpage/activity" I can still see all the old devices. How can I reset them?

I found the solution myself. I deleted the *.ldb files in the Local Storage folder and the other devices are gone. You can find the folder here Opera\profile\data\Local Storage\leveldb\xxx.ldb

This worked! I just need to add that I had to sign out and sign in to resync once before I got the data from other devices again because the tabs just disappears after deleting the files! BTW neutrino youare just awesome! Wish you the best!

@neutrino I assume the opera/profiles deletion that you suggested was for PC. Any idea how to do so for Macs? this is related to the query: remove old devices from sync

@liquidmetal Check the path to the profile directory in opera://about. Then go there, locate the Local Storage folder.

Is there an updated solution to this problem? I don't have an Opera profile folder and I can't find any .ldb files. Thanks.
