Finally had time to try again. This time I deleted every last bit of Opera I was able to find and delete from my computer. I did not remove any registry entries though. Removals included what was in my Appdata\Local folder and the .opera file that was in Users<user> folder. I had to rename Opera Software in my Appdata\Roaming folder. Even running as Administrator there were files Windows said I didn't have permission to delete. I then rebooted my computer, made sure Brave wasn't running, and installed Opera. This time it finally worked. No more issues of not being able to open my profile. Of course I've lost everything. I have an older exported bookmark.html file from May that I can restore to recover old bookmarks I've saved, but will have lost any newer ones. All of my settings are gone, so I'll have to figure all of that out again. I wonder if this was caused by some sort of weird conflict with Brave. I've never had anything like this happen before. Thank you for your help.

Same thing just happened to me. Opera did an automatic update. I clicked to restart opera and when it started up I got message after message stating that it could not open my profile. Had to keep closing the messages before Opera finally opened. Everything is gone. My active tabs, settings, and speed dials. Not happy!
