i confirm the problem, and it is a major privacy problem!

Up to opera 47 all cookies and websitedatas (local-data) were deleted, with version 48 it is not possible to delete all data in a open session, and this a big privacy problem. It no matter what cookies/local-data can do for you, some are very helpful, but most of them just a hacking tool to destroy your privacy and makes you 100% transparent.

Opera was always well known for their privacy-protection, but now with version 48 every one can see wich sites you have visited, even when you delete you browser-data/cookie/local-data, and this makes absolutely no sense at all.

The only way to delete all datas is to close opera and restart, and this is not
user-friendly and even not practical.

Most opera users dont know that the deleted datas were not deleted, as befor in the older opera-versions.

Open letter to all opera developers:
please respect the privacy of your users and remove this major privacy problem!

This issue is odd - looks like your profile is somehow preserved (maybe for some odd reason there are insufficient rights to modify the profile folder).

Could you please do the following:

go to opera:about

check the paths where your cache and profile is stored (assuming you are on Windows, these would probably: C:\Users{user}\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable and C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable respectively; I'm not sure about Mac or Linux)

close Opera

go to the folders - you can remove the whole "Opera Stable" cache folder but if you want to have your profile preserved for future use, just rename "Opera Stable" profile to anything you want

restart Opera

Your Opera should now restart with a completely clean profile. Please browse a while, close, restart again and check if it solved your issue.
