<![CDATA[Restoring previous session from /sessions directory]]>I had four Opera windows open.
Opera closed. When I reopened it, only one window opened.
In AppData, I found the "sessions" and "tabs" files shown below. (I created copies, just in case.)

00327141-47a8-4c6c-b7fd-5817d9770f30-image.png

Notably the latest "sessions" and "tabs" files from 13:27 and 13:02 are considerably smaller, consistent with there being only one window open.

How do I restore one of the previous sessions? or tabs?

Thx

the /Sessions/ directory overwrites itself constantly.

That's why you need to backup the files before starting playing with them.

While LeoCG is correct, the /Sessions/ directory overwrites itself constantly.

However, if you regularly backup your system, restoring the
AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Sessions
folder restores your Opera window and tabs.

Or until there's no more combinations.
