Opera is still the fourth most downloaded web browser in the market, according to Download.com's "Browser for Windows" section. However, uninstalling it can be tricky. If you're trying to uninstall Opera, first save your personal data (like your bookmarks), then close all Opera-related windows and processes, and start from step one, below.
Steps

Scroll for Group O. Right click on Opera in that part, and select the "Uninstall" option.Advertisement
Wait while the programs list loads. Locate your own copy of Opera program, press the Enter key directly or launch the given Uninstall option in the program settings.[1]
If you wish to completely uninstall Opera Stable, please check the additional option "Delete my Opera user data", and then press "Uninstall" button on the "Opera Installer" above.
Method 2
Check out your own Dock bar. Quit Opera for Mac.
Run Activity Monitor and terminate the "opera_autoupdate" process manually.
Select the "Quit" option on the confirmation window.
Open your desktop. Head to Go and select Applications entry on the list.
Find an icon named "Opera Internet Browser".
Right click on that Opera app, and select "Move to Trash".

DarkWolf2244Community AnswerOpera may not have a window open, but a background process might still be running. If you're on Windows, open Task Manager, scroll till you find Opera, right-click it, then select "End Task". Try uninstalling it again after doing that.
