    1) DL Opera 9.62 from site but can on start from the file system after doing a search. How do i get it on my network/desktop for easy access?

    2) Once I lauch the web browser i get the following error message:

    Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
    Plug-ins will not work properly.
    Check your installation.
    Could not locate plug-in executable 'operapluginwrapper'
    This executable is included in the install package.
    Searched directory:

    How do I fix this??

    3) DL flash player but opera does not recognize it, most likely due to problem 2??

    4) Finally how do i remove opera all together if i dont want it?? Cant seem to uninstall or delete it???

    Did you install via rpm?
    If so then it's as simple as
    sudo yum -y remove opera

    If you installed from source, I'm not sure. If there's no uninstall script, then you'd have to go digging through the system to see where it put in things when it installed.

    I'm not sure why it's not seeing flash. One other option, if you didn't use the rpm is to make sure you get the rpm version for Fedora (same one for F8 and others, I think it says 5 6 and 7, but it works throgh F10) and install it with rpm -Uvh. If it fails, saying that it conflicts with an existing file, just rename the existing file. (Before doing it by rpm, if you're not able to uninstall it, then rename the existing /usr/bin/opera to something like /usr/bin/opera.old

    sudo mv /usr/bin/opera /usr/bin/opera.old

    OK, i think i've removed most of opera by by using sudo yum -y remove opera.
    But i still show some opera files i cant delete or move to trash as error message says cannot move to trash access denied following file names:
    opera.png
    opera-browser.destop
    opera-mailer.desktop
    oerator.so
    opera

    How can i delete the rest of these opera files??

    Thank you .

    Try doing it as root.

    The easiest way is via the terminal: do
    Code:
    sudo rm <file>
    for each file.
