If you have problems with Opera, you should reset the browser completely. This is particularly necessary when removing malware. We show you the individual steps

Reset Opera completely

Unfortunately, Opera itself does not have a function to reset the settings.

1. Therefore, click on the "Opera" button at the top right of the window and select the "Delete Internet tracks" option under the "Settings" category.
2. Activate all points and click on delete. This solves most of the problems.
3. To also delete the last settings, enter "opera: about" in the address bar of the browser at the top and confirm with [Enter].
4. Under the "Files and Paths" category you will see several file paths. Copy the file paths from the "Settings" and from the "Profile directory".
5. Open Windows Explorer with the key combination [Windows] + [E] and enter the first path in the address bar.
6. Exit Opera and delete the files in the folder. Do the same for the second path.
7. The next time you start Opera, the browser will be completely reset.
