      I have recently had to reinstall windows 10 on a solid state ( C: ) drive which is dedicated only to Windows 10. My data drive (D:) is separate and retained all my existing data, files etc.

      With the new install on the solid state drive I lost Opera and more importantly my bookmarks. My question is are they stored in windows and can they be recovered? My (D:) drive contains an exact copy of Windows program files which were not affected by the install, therefore are my bookmarks recoverable?

      I'd be very grateful for any assistance.

        @Will48 They are stored in Bookmarks file at Opera's profile directory.
        Check Menu > Help > About Opera for the path.

        Also check https://help.opera.com/en/latest/crashes-and-issues/#backup for more info on Opera's main files and folders.

          Hi @leocg

          Many thanks for your prompt reply. Following the route you suggested: C:\Users\wills\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable, I came across two files:

          1. Bookmarks. This was legible but appeared to mainly contain records of previously visited sites, eg
            },
            "name": "tweetpolitics (@tweetonpolitics) | Twitter",
            "type": "url",
            "url": "https://twitter.com/tweetonpolitics"
            }, {
            "date_added": "13146681517104580",
            "id": "11",
            "meta_info": {
            "last_visited_desktop": "13183218635730325"
            },

          2. BookmarksExtras. The size of the file makes more likely but is completely illegible:

          {"000B31AAC1E9798B64D8F94E0339B271E6AFEC0DB8E1635CA5EE10792203623A":"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwMEBQgFBQQEBQoHBwYIDAoMDAsKCwsNDhIQDQ4RDgsLEBYQERMUFRUVDA8XGBYUGBIUFRT/2wBDAQMEBAUEBQkFBQkUDQsNFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBT/wAARCACoAQgDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAHgAAAQQDAQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQFBgcDCAkCAQr/xABlEAABAgQDBAUDChAICgcJAAABAgMABAURBhIhBxMxQQgUIlFhCRVxMnaBkZSVobG00RYXGSMzOEJSU1

          I'd be grateful for your thoughts.

          Thanks

            Hi @leocg,

            Just realised the BookmarksExtra file is for image data, apologoies for my lack of concentration.
