Generally a hidden folder with the same name is created in your home directory. In your case check out the .opera directory in your home folder. cd ls -a cd .opera
Copy this entire folder and save it somewhere else. Delete the existing .opera folder. Remove Opera and install it again. Paste this folder in your home directory and check it out before you do the actual format. I do this with Thunderbird across different platforms. All my emails, folders, accounts and their passwords remain intact. It is as if I am already using it in the new system.
Before you remove or format your linux partition, if you have Windows, then mount one of its partitions and backup your data into that. After that you can delete or format the balance linux partitions.
Thanks rony I did find the folder and saved wand.dat file. I just want to know now that there won't be any problems with permissions?
