Changing the Opera cache location
 

I had been noticing that my device storage available constantly decreases. I finally found the culprit...the cache file for Opera. Is there any way to set Opera to cache its files into My Storage rather than my device? I looked in Opera under settings, but although you can adjust the cache size (and I did adjust it down from 4 MB to 2 MB) I'd really like to get it on My Storage where it can be as big as it wants and I never have to worry about it again.

Thanks,

Devin

Yes. Open Opera, go to the address opera:config.

Under User Prefs, locate Cache Directory4. Change it to \My Storage\"insert your folder name"

I did this 4 times but the setting doesn't stick...it goes back to its default...:(

what am I missing

Screenshot of the edit you made? That seems odd.

Let me doublecheck mine, pretty sure it stuck.

Mine stuck. It should be noted that it will not move the old cache files. Those need to be manually removed.

lemme ask u do I go into my "my storage" and create a "cache" folder first? or will it create one on its own when I change this setting..

Re: Changing the Opera cache location
 

It will create its own. But note what I said above, the files in the old cache must be nuked.

the old folders as well?

I went ahead and left the folder, but I dont forsee a problem removing the old cache folder. It would certainly prove whether or not the change really took place :D
