Clearing your browser cache allows you to resolve performance issues and free up space on your device. In this guide, you’ll learn how to access your settings and clear your browsing data in Opera.

Clear your cache in Opera

1. Access Opera settings

Start by opening your browser menu to locate your privacy settings.

1. Open Opera on your computer.

2. Click on the Opera menu icon in the upper-left corner of the screen (or "Safari" in the top menu bar on a Mac).

3. Select Settings.

4. Click on Privacy & Security on the left sidebar.

5. Check the Cached images and files box.

6. Click Clear data.

2. Choose your clearing option

In the pop-up window, you have two main options depending on how thorough you want your cleanup to be.

Basic

The Basic option is a quick and simple way to clear the most common browsing data.

• Browsing history: Deletes the list of websites you’ve visited, so they will no longer appear in your search history.

• Cookies and other site data: Deletes stored cookies, which may log you out of some websites and reset site-specific preferences.

• Cached images and files: Removes temporary files such as images, videos, and scripts that Opera stores to load pages faster.

Advanced

The Advanced option gives you more control over what data you want to delete. In addition to the options included in "Basic," you can select:

• Saved passwords: Deletes all passwords stored by the browser, requiring you to log in again to websites.

• Autofill form data: Removes information Opera saves to autofill forms, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers.

• Site settings: Deletes the specific permissions you’ve assigned to websites, like access to your camera or the ability to send notifications.

• Content licenses: Deletes licenses for protected content, such as purchased videos or streaming subscriptions.
