<![CDATA[Opera Next is chewing up GBs of space on my SSD]]>I've had Opera Next installed for a while, just to follow the progress of the browser. I don't use it as my default browser, in fact, I don't really use it at all.

After updating to the latest version, I noticed that space on my SSD started to disappear. I tracked that down to this folder: -

So Opera Next is using up nearly 7GB space there. Why is this? What are those files and why are they getting bigger and bigger when I'm not even using the browser?

Start Opera with commandline parameter for destination dir and size: --disk-cache-dir=D:\MYCACHEDIR --disk-cache-size=314572800

You can also add thes parameters to registry settings

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command

In a recent discussion. So your best bet is not that Opera will get new features, but to use another browser.

For example after version 18-19 they removed the possibility to relocate the cache, so for average internet users, those hundreds of gigabytes of cache downloaded every month are sure to ware you SSD faster than you expected.
