Where Does Opera Neon Store Profiles?
Opera Neon follows the Opera family layout under Opera Software, with the profile in a Default folder. Confirm it in opera://about.
Last updated
Opera Neon is a separate browser from Opera Stable, GX and Air, but it inherits the family layout. Expect an Opera Software root with a product folder inside it, and the daily profile in a Default subfolder with familiar Chromium files.
One honest caveat: no official page enumerates the Neon 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 Neon stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Neon\Default
Expected family pattern root for Neon, following the Opera Stable and GX convention of a product folder under Opera Software with a Default profile inside. The exact Neon 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/Opera Software/Opera Neon/Default
Same family pattern on Mac, with Cache beside Default. If this folder is absent, the installed build uses a different product name. The opera://about page prints the true profile path either way.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my exact Opera Neon 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 naming differences between Stable, GX, Air and Neon. Copy that path with the browser fully quit.
Opera Neon 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 settings and saved logins rather than disposable bulk.
