Hi, the folder C:\Users(myname)\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\File System takes up around 5 GB. Is there a way to reduce this? I'm running low on hard drive space. Can I delete this?

I cleared my history and cache and it is still at 4.7 GB. I checked opera://flags/#enable-simple-cache-backend and it was Default (not sure if that is enabled or disabled) so I disabled it just in case.
The huge file that is taking up all that space is in C:...\File System\000\p\00\ and it is called 00000000. No extension. It's almost 5 GB alone.
Should I just uninstall Opera, delete that who Opera Software folder and reinstall?

I deleted the file. Seems that everything is working normally. Not sure how it got so large. Thanks everyone for your help.
