My browser just updated (8/25/2023). But I lost all my bookmarks I need to manage my life and business (well over 100). I've used Opera exclusively for over 5 years but didn't have an "account". It has always kept my bookmarks after an update. I'm really mad that this happened and not sure what to do.

@wandio I had the same problem and am really mad. Hopefully someone will have an answer. I lost everything to manage my accounts and business.

@135mech, @manuel60:

It shows up for me on W10. Go to the Control Panel, then Programs and Features, scroll down to Opera, and right-click then Uninstall. Once it started it gave me the checkbox for Delete all Data (it paused there and I had to answer before it continued). Make sure the box is unchecked then click the Uninstall button.

@135mech, @wandi, (and all others):

As I posted above it seemed to work for me. And on the Opera blog they claim that they have disabled auto-update for the time being since so many people are having the problem. So once you go back to 101 it should NOT auto-update (at least according to the Opera folks ....)

@wandio I have exactly the same problem, I lost a lot of important stuff.
How to trust such a browser?

@sklunk
I did that, and it didn't solve it, everything was deleted

I was able to "restore" my pre-update session, but I do not know if this will work for everyone.

1. Open Opera and type opera:about/ in the browser.
2. Check the Profile path and go there. It would be something like C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
3. In this folder all your previous browser data is still there.
   The problem is that the new update created a new folder called Default so you have C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default and Opera is extracting all the browser data from this new folder. This is the reason why there is no history, extensions, speed dials, etc.
   As there is nothing stored in this Default folder, is as if you just installed Opera and opened it for the first time.
4. You can copy (and backup) all the data from C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable and paste in the Default folder C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default

Hope this help you!

@silvarang Thank you so much. With more than 200 tabs and lots of cookies, I was so mad and almost smashed my computer, but luckily I found you. Thank you, and I hope Opera doesn't let this error happen again because it happened to me three times already.

@nintenn Just remove the last update and re-install the 101 version. You will recover everthing!

@silvarang Thank you, but my profile path lists: ...AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default

There is nothing that does not say 'Default'.

When I go to that address it does appear to have a lot of data listed, but as none of my bookmarks, workspaces etc actually show up when I run Opera since the update, I don't trust that this is the answer to my problems.

Does anyone have any light they can shine on this? Many thanks.

Hello, when updating to the Opera One version, everything I had in quick access has been lost, how can I recover it, thank you.

I have also found the same thing and would also like to know how to get my tabs back.

@dbaillieuk01 I keep hoping Opera is working frantically to set this right and that they will officially let us know what to do soon.

this update 102 is really disgrace...
how come you force someone by automatically update their version to opera 102,
in the same time, you make all theirs bookmark, speed dial, history, etc gone?
i have use opera for more than 10 years, every update never missed the bookmark. now once updated to version 102, all my bookmark, speed dial that i have created for more than 10 years, all gone.

WOW!!
what a good work dear new developer

So I was hit by this loss of data this morning, yet the updates page is saying I'm still on 95.0.4635.84 and that's it up to date. I've used the OperaSetup and apparently nothing. I did some fiddling and found that the Bookmark files from the Opera stable folder and Default folder are different, with the former being the newer version. This could be down to me importing an old bookmark download I had out of desperation, I'm unsure. Either way, hoping they can do something.
