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?

./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:

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 removeopera-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 errorAny 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
