From the last solution posted here, I took cues and got a simple procedure to clear this 'super-glued' tab bug. If you have Opera sync working (which is the case when this issue happens) and is fully synced upto this very moment so that if you mess this up, sync could restore your latest settings and data after this deed is completed. No backups, sign out sign in, etc needed. Just get ready to delete the annoying bits.

First of all, I closed Opera GX windows (no need to sign out of sync).
Then I went to %appdata% (Press Win key+R and paste %appdata%). It will take you to Appdata\Roaming. Go to the Opera GX sub-folder inside Opera Software folder.

Optional: Take a copy of this folder as a precautionary backup (for the meticulous peeps).

Delete the folders appearing to store sync data ( I deleted folders having storage, local state, sync data in folder name).

Go back few levels in the Windows explorer and navigate so that you reach %appdata%\Local folder. In there, delete the Opera GX subfolder within Opera Software folder. No backups needed here.

Start Opera GX.

note:you would lose your settigns but dont worry because theyre saved to your acc (account)

ok so first you close opera/opera gx
then you press windows+R then type "%appdata%"
(without the quotes ofcourse) and then press enter

you then go to the "local" file and you search for the "opera software" folder then you delete it whole

you then go back to the "appdata" file and go to the "roaming" file and do the exact same thing

now make sure you did not open opera/opera-GX

and go to your opera/opera-GX setup file
you run it and turn on all checkboxes
you then click uninstall
after you do that you should open the exact same setup file and redownload your browser

you should then open that browser and sign in
and boom!
problem solved!

Not sure why you still see them on the tabs page. Maybe it's not being synced.

It will remove your synced data from the servers.
Just as a precaution, I would advise to logoff from sync before doing that.

At least not without resetting your synced data.

Check if you can see them in Other Speed Dials. If so, then maybe you can remove them.

One of the other users found or made (probably found) an animated flag GIF and sent it to me. Unfortunately the new forums don't support animation.

@popiomondayz Sorry, that's the only known option for removing devices.
