Opera is a popular web browser known for its speed and security features. However, if you're looking to switch to a different browser or simply need to free up some space on your Mac, you might consider removing Opera. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of uninstalling Opera from your Mac.

Step 1: Quit Opera and close all associated processes

Before you begin the uninstallation process, make sure to close all open Opera windows. You should also end any related processes running in the background. To do this, follow the steps below:

  • Click on the "Opera" menu located at the top-left corner of your screen.
  • Select "Quit Opera" from the drop-down menu.
  • To ensure all Opera processes are closed, open the "Activity Monitor" application by searching for it in Spotlight.
  • In the "Activity Monitor" window, locate any Opera-related processes and select "Quit" or "Force Quit".

Step 2: Remove Opera using Finder

Now that all Opera processes are closed, it's time to remove the application files from your Mac. Follow these steps to uninstall Opera using Finder:

  • Open a new Finder window by clicking on the Finder icon in your Dock or pressing "Command + N".
  • In the Finder sidebar, click on "Applications" to navigate to your installed applications.
  • Locate the Opera icon and drag it to the Trash bin icon in your Dock.
  • Alternatively, you can right-click on the Opera icon and select "Move to Trash".
  • To completely remove Opera, empty your Trash bin. Right-click on the Trash bin icon, then choose "Empty Trash".

Step 3: Delete Opera preferences and support files

Although you have removed the Opera application, there might be some leftover preferences and support files on your Mac. It's recommended to delete these files to ensure a clean uninstallation. Follow the steps below:

  • Open a Finder window and click on "Go" in the menu bar.
  • From the drop-down menu, select "Go to Folder".
  • In the "Go to the folder" window, type "~/Library/" and press "Enter". This will open the Library folder in your user directory.
  • Within the Library folder, locate and delete the following items related to Opera:
    • ~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera
    • ~/Library/Caches/com.operasoftware.Opera
    • ~/Library/Preferences/com.operasoftware.Opera.plist
    • ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.operasoftware.Opera.savedState

Step 4: Restart your Mac

After removing all the Opera files and preferences, it's a good idea to restart your Mac. This will ensure that any remaining traces of the browser are completely cleared from your system. Simply click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select "Restart".

By following these simple steps, you can easily remove Opera from your Mac and free up valuable storage space. Remember to close all Opera processes, uninstall the application using Finder, delete any leftover preferences and support files, and finally, restart your Mac. Now you're ready to explore other web browsers or enjoy a faster Mac with more available storage space!
