How do I uninstall Opera Browser.  When I right click icon it doesn't present a remove option as stated in the Linux Lite manual.
Look for this in synaptic package manager

Code:
$ apt-cache policy opera-developer
opera-developer:
  Installed: 33.0.1967.0
  Candidate: 33.0.1967.0
  Version table:
*** 33.0.1967.0 0
        500 http://deb.opera.com/opera-developer/ stable/non-free amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I don't wish to remove mine but I will show a simulation of a command line uninstall.

Code:
$ sudo apt-get -s remove opera-developer

Remv opera-developer [33.0.1967.0]

sudo apt-get opera-developer without using -s switch will uninstall opera via command line. Or use synaptic package manager to uninstall it.

Use Install/Remove Software:

Menu->System->Install/Remove Software

Search for "opera" and mark it for complete removal.  Then click on Apply.
sudo apt-get remove opera
