Will uninstalling Opera remove all files in its install directory?

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?

@barrelly It probably will remove all of its files from the installation directory.

@leocg all of "its" meaning only its own files?

@barrelly Yes, I don't think Opera can remove files from other programs.

@leocg even files in its own installation folder?

@barrelly I guess so, usually programs can just remove their own files.
