History auto-deletion bug.

Hi! It's been about 2-3 months now and my history will find random times to delete itself. Anywhere from a few days to a week, browser open or closed, PC on or off. Very confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

@kariiiii Everything is deleted? Or just old stuff?

@leocg everything, only the "recently closed" tab remains, so, sometimes things as much as 20 minutes recent go poof :c
Sometimes, rarely, I can get up to 2-3 days of saved history before it poofs. Stuff like autofill & passwords also don't delete.

@kariiiii So you go to opera://history and don't see your history data?

Could be a problem with the History file, you could try deleting/renaming it and check if the issue keeps happening with the new file.

Correct! Could you direct me to the directory (hah) so I can make sure I'm messing with the right one? I'll try renaming it to something, then deleting it, and see how my mileage varies.

@kariiiii As said, you can check the path to the profile directory in opera://about.

@leocg said in History auto-deletion bug.:

opera://about

That may be the issue, I don't see a history path. Just install, profile, and cache!

@kariiiii Nobody said anything about a history path.
Now you go to the profile directory and rename/delete the History file.
