      I inadvertently activated the “Remove Entire Domain” for one of my Facebook groups and now there does not seem to be any way back or recover it!! Even if I do a search for it now, Opera shows it as not existing – so what on earth am I going to do now?
      This is crazy!! You can delete in an instant and it seems to be lost forever. Unless someone has an answer, I will have no option but to use another provider and ditch Opera!! I am so annoyed!!!
      Help Please!!

        @TheInkMonitor I don't think there's a way to revert the result of using that button.

          Thank you for that (I think 😁), but is insane you can destroy a link so total with no hope of recovery – what on earth is the thinking behind it.
          People do make mistakes, and normally, you have a warning come up like “Are You Sure?”, but this is so final, which simply does not make sense, especially when Opera then, do not recognise the link if you try to retrieve it.
          Simply does not sound right to me, and after all what is the point of the “Remove Entire Domain” button?

            @TheInkMonitor Well, you have to deliberately select and entry, move your mouse to the button and click on it. But, OK, maybe it could have a warning.

              @leocg Thank you for your sympathy,😊 but it doesn’t alter the fact it is a totally idiotic and useless button, with no retrieval.
              Perhaps, and I’m not holding my breath, someone on Opera might read this and realise what a stupid move it was on their part to offer such a feature.
              Beyond that, words fail me………………..there’s always other browsers, of course, which I am looking at as I am So annoyed about this. 😠

                @TheInkMonitor Well, I don't think it's useless. People may want to quickly remove all the records of a domain from history.

                  @leocg That's as maybe, but to have it so there is absolutely no retrieval of any sort, and then to have it so it appears that the Domain no longer exists, does not make sense to me
