      Hello,

      I have an Opera web browser app installed a while ago which I now want to delete. I can see it in my Application folder and I can delete it by dragging it to the Trash. It works for 1-2 hours but then it somehow reappears in the Application folder. I have deleted it about 10 times but it always comes back. Here are the things I tried (which did not work):

      1. Deleting using the standard way (dragging the Opera app from Applications to the Trash and emptying the Trash afterwards)
      2. Deleting using a third-party app (AppCleaner)
      3. Downloading and using the Opera installer (both this and option 4 do not offer to uninstall the app, so I could only re-install it but not uninstall)
      4. Downloading and running the offline Opera installer
      5. Restarting the computer

      I have a MacBook Pro 2021 with macOS Sonoma 14.5.

      I am not sure if this is an Opera or macOS issue. Has anyone run into similar issues before?

      Kind regards,
      Evgeny
