How to uninstall Opera

Solved
jpc54 -  
Good evening,

I have a Windows XP SP3 computer and I used to have Opera as my browser, which I uninstalled through the Control Panel and then Add/Remove Programs, and everything went well. However, since I have Update Checker, it still asks me to update. Could you explain what to do to avoid this issue?
Thank you for your responses.

    Hello,

    Go to delete the Opera folder in:
    --> C\program files
    --> C\Documents and settings\<your username="">\Application Data

    Then run --> CCleaner for a cleanup in Windows, applications, and registry.
    For the use of CCleaner, check this --> tutorial

        I don't use update checker
        Check in the settings, options, tools, or others of update checker, if there is a list of programs or software, to remove Opera?

          It's up to you, leave them as they are now or put them back as they were before.

          Have a good evening.

            Hello,
            This morning the Opera update request reappeared. Do we need to do something else?
            Thank you.

          I followed the procedure, everything is fine, but should I uncheck: show hidden files and folders and check: hide extensions for known file types? Should I set it back to how it was before?

            I checked this way: Start - Computer - Local Disk (C:) - Program Files and there was an Opera folder that I deleted and now everything is normal, the Update Checker no longer asks me to update Opera. Thanks again for your help.

              Go to Start
              My Computer
              --> C drive Program files

              For Application Data, it is a hidden folder
              To be able to view it, you need to make a change:
              Go to Start
              Control Panel
              Folder Options
              View tab
              Check: show hidden files and folders
              Uncheck: hide extensions for known file types
              Apply and OK.

              Go to Start
              My Computer
              --> C:\Documents and settings\your username\Application Data

                You're welcome,

                Yet I had clearly mentioned to delete the opera folder in program files and application data.
                Look at messages 1 and 3

                Good evening.
