Crash Reports CUsersAppDataLocalProgramsOpera Crash_count Opera_autoupdate Personally I installed opera in my system and checked and I got the same folder in Download directory. What this folder will do and why other browsers don’t create this type of folder even those based on Chromium, e.g. Brave, Chrome or Edge. According to opera, this Folder is created purely for update purposes, once you installed the opera browser it automatically creates a scheduled task ‘Opera scheduled assistant Autoupdate’ in Task Scheduler to keep the opera browser Assistant up to date. To run the multiple task in task scheduler opera is creating the second folder in the Downloads folder. So in this article, I am going to show how to Delete Autoupdate Folder that keeps appearing in Opera.
Delete Autoupdate Folder:
Open Task Scheduler in administrative mode from Windows 10 Start Menu.
Click on Task Scheduler Library from the Left-hand side. Now Scroll down until you see the Opera Scheduled assistant Autoupdate.
If there are more than one Opera scheduled Autoupdate. Right-click on the task and Choose disable.
Make sure all the Autoupdate Tasks are Disabled, and go to the Downloads folder and Delete the folder.
