I deleted the list of downloads, not realizing it would also delete the files from my phone. Is there a way to recover it? Like hundreds of photos now gone....

Deleting the download list in Opera usually doesn’t remove the actual files from your phone, but it can sometimes make them harder to find. Here are a few steps you can try to recover the photos:

Check your phone's gallery or file manager: The photos might still be there if they were downloaded directly to your phone’s storage.

Look in Opera’s download folder: Some browsers store downloads in a specific folder (e.g., "Opera Downloads"). You can try checking there.

Use a file recovery app: If they were deleted, you could use apps like DiskDigger or other Android/iOS file recovery tools to try to recover the deleted files.

Check cloud backups: If you have a cloud backup (like Google Photos, iCloud, etc.), there’s a chance the photos were synced and can be restored.
