Where Does Opera Air Store Your Profile?
Opera Air follows the Opera family layout under Opera Software, with the profile in a Default folder. Confirm the exact folder in opera://about.
Last updated
Opera Air is a separate browser from Opera Stable and Opera GX, but it inherits the family layout. Expect an Opera Software root with a product folder inside it, and your daily profile in a Default subfolder with the familiar Chromium files.
One honest caveat: no official page enumerates the Air folder name, so treat the pattern below as the family convention rather than a quoted spec. The reliable move is opera://about, which prints the Install, Profile and Cache paths for the build actually running. Use the pattern to look, use the about page to confirm.
Where Opera Air stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Air Stable
Expected family-pattern root for Air, following the Opera Stable and GX convention of a product folder under Opera Software with a Default profile inside. The exact Air folder name is not officially documented, so confirm it on the opera://about page before copying. Quit the browser first since Chromium locks its databases.
~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera-Air
Expected Mac home following the com.operasoftware naming convention. Library is hidden, so use Go to Folder in Finder. As on Windows, the exact Air folder name is undocumented, and opera://about prints the authoritative profile path for the running build.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my exact Opera Air profile folder?
Type opera://about in the address bar and read the Profile line. That page prints the running install's real folder, which settles it when Stable, GX and Air each use different names. Copy that path with the browser fully quit.
Opera Air is using too much disk. What do I delete?
Clear the Cache folder plus Code Cache and GPUCache inside the Default profile. Those refill on next launch. Keep Preferences, Bookmarks and Login Data, which hold your settings and saved logins rather than disposable bulk.
Do Opera and Opera Air share one profile?
No. Opera Stable, Opera GX and Opera Air are separate products with separate folders, and deleting one profile never touches the others. Each keeps its own Default folder with independent history and logins.
