The Windows.old file is still on the computer.

Would that be any use ?

Thanks.

For the path to the profile directory, go to Menu > Help > About Opera or type opera://about on address bar.

Or, access it ?

And can I retrieve it in future to import, in situations like this ?

I recently have had a PUP on this computer, and had to follow instructions from 'Bleeping Computer' forums, in order to try and remedy that.

It's not synced with any other devices anyway.

If you used Opera Sync to sync your history and it's still on sync.opera.com, you could create a new Opera profile and log into sync.
