        See https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disk-cache-dir.

        You can launch Opera like this:

        "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" "--disk-cache-dir=C:\temp"
        

        (Adjust path to your launcher.exe by looking at the "install path" at the URL opera://about.)

        by modifying the properties of Opera's shortcuts.

        Note that "C:\temp" isn't writable for regular users. So, if your user isn't in the Administrators group, you'll have to change the permissions of the folder to allow the Users group to write to it too.

        Also note that any time Opera is launched from a file or protocol association, it'll still use the normal location for the cache.
