      You should not run .opera

      Opera is started in shell as opera-stable.

        Actually it is started as: opera

        The only exception being if you installed opera via the Russian fedora repository, then it is opera-stable.

          So, no diagnostic tests that I can do? If so, I will be forced to delete the directory and install it again. If that it is the case, is the "bookmarks.adr" the only file related to bookmarks?

            You are typing the wrong command. Type the right one and report back.

                ./opera-stable? This doens't exists here

                No! Why do you use ./...? That starts a program in current directory. Do you know how to use the shell?

                Please read:
                http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php

                http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/

                Start it with opera-stable

                With these commands

                which opera
                

                or

                which opera-stable
                

                you can check wich opera exists in which directory.

                  Start it with opera-stable

                  You don't help him when you also keep saying the wrong thing, as already pointed out. 😉 The odds of him using a non-official repack are low and even if he is it would have to be exactly that one, as it is the only repack that renames the main binary.

                  If he is suing the official package, he should start it with:

                  opera
                  

                  Nothing else. Don't write a single other thing in the terminal, just that and press enter.

                    When I said it was installed system-wide? I probably should have mentioned it before, but someone shouldn't take it as a certain. Anyway, I won't install it system-wide, so I need alternative ideas

                      Ok I tried to delete the directory and it deleted, except by these files:
                      rm: cannot remove opera-12.16-1860.i386.linux/profile/cookies4.dat': Input/output error rm: cannot remove opera-12.16-1860.i386.linux/profile/vlink4.dat': Input/output error
                      rm: cannot remove `opera-12.16-1860.i386.linux/profile/widgets/wuid-e7253920-6ee5-11e4-8ad4-c47c57315376/cache/activity.opr': Input/output error

                      Any ideas of how I can delete these three remaining files and the containing dir ?

                        Open the folder contain the folders and files you wish to delete as administrator and enter your administrators password (usually by right clicking said folder and selecting 'Open as administrator'). Another (duplicate) window should appear containing the same files and folders, but this one has administrators privileges. You should now be able to delete everything you need to.

                        NB: You haven't mentioned which distribution of Linux you are actually using.

                          I don't have that option. Anyway, I tried to delete it through command line using administrators privileges and didn't work. I am reasonably sure this is also the cause for not being able to run Opera

                            May be you have badblocks on your harddrives.

                            You should do the following in Shell:

                            sudo touch /forcefsck  
                            sudo reboot
