      I am mostly syncing between a Windows laptop and a Note 9 Android but on the laptop the when I check the Opera sync info page and also using opera://activity it shows open tabs on the phone that are no longer open. It does show and close new tabs correctly but these 4 tabs are stuck there.

      It also shows my same laptop twice and one has old open tabs and does not show anything new. Any ideas how to correct this?

          I followed this:

          To reset your account:

          Navigate to http://sync.opera.com/web/.
          Select the Reset sync data button.

          I am definitely logged in but I do not have a Reset sync data button just a

          Do not remember your key synchronization password (passphrase)? Reset Passphrase

            Well after doing a search I found this post which explains the same issue. The devs and the webmaster should really clear this info up.

            https://forums.opera.com/topic/45685/reset-sync-data-button-doesn-t-exist-and-no-way-to-delete-old-sync-data

            I will try this and hopefully it will fix the issue.

                @leocg this did work for me although it took me doing it 2 times to get 3 laptops, a surface pro and 2 phones to sync and work 100% correctly

                  @leocg this did work for me although it took me doing it 2 times to get 3 laptops, a surface pro and 2 phones to sync and work 100% correctly... then after a few hrs of testing one of the laptops is back to having 2 open tabs profiles in the sync 1 active 1 stale. I am going to uninstall and reinstall opera on this problem laptop., but I guess I have to do all the sync setups Again in order to try and resolve this... man this is a Major time consuming pain!
