I installed opera on linux mint 20 xfce with a deb file I downloaded from here, the official site. As I had problem playing videos I uninstalled and I removed the authentication key on Software sources. After one day the key comes back! I tried with terminal commands apt-key delete but the key again comes back after one day!
It's the same issue described here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=262031
What files-settings opera installs and where? This is not normal! How can I fix it?

@jimmyblue What do you mean by authentication key? Where is/was it located?

@leocg The signing key for the Opera Linux repository.

Did you actually remove the Opera repository from your system? If the repository is still listed then it will obviously fetch the key.
