When I first installed Opera GX, I mistakenly installed it directly to my drive, as opposed to a dedicated folder, and due to being unsure which files and folders belonged to Opera, never moved it to another folder.
Now I would like to uninstall Opera GX, but I'm worried that it'll also delete everything else in my drive as it might just clear the install folder. Would this happen, or can I safely uninstall?
