Opera password manager no longer works

The password manager deleted all my passwords and it no longer wants to keep any of them. It no longer offers me to save them even though the function is activated. I can't even manually add a password.
Does anyone know what I can do? -

@aspartame Sounds like it was unable to open your password store.

@sgunhouse Yes, I too thought that Opera couldn't open the password store. But I don't know where this database is stored. On an old version of Opera, I had this problem and solved it by deleting the file in which the passwords were stored. But today it's much less simple.
I tried to completely destroy the "263" folder. A new folder was recreated when Opera opened and the password manager started working again. But a new problem arose: I could no longer change the browser language which remained stuck in English. -

I managed to fix the problem by completely destroying the "263" folder in order to force Opera to recreate a new one. Of course before, I had made a copy of the original file. From this copy, I selected the “Extensions” and “Extensions Scripts” folders as well as the “Bookmarks” and “Preferences” files then I copied and pasted them into the new folder.
As for the language problem. I found in the "263" folder, a file called opera_opera.desktop. I made the changes recommended for the Opera.desktop file on this one.
I lost my passwords, my addresses as well as my favorite search engines, but I was able to solve the problem. I could have avoided destroying everything if I had known where the passwords were stored so that I only destroy this single data file.
But it works again; That is what matters. -

@aspartame Probably 2 or 3 files. On Windows it's Login Data, then a backup and a journal. Naturally Linux doesn't allow spaces in names, so maybe Login_Data or some such.
