You must have your hidden files turned on to navigate to where your
opera cache images are stored. In case your's are turned off and you do
not see an icon for a file you need to navigate to the cache, some
files you need likely are hidden. Here is how you display the hidden
file icons on the Windows XP. Procedures will be a bit different on
other OSs.

I leave my hidden files displayed all of the time, and it does not add
much clutter. However doing things to the contents of some hidden files
without knowing exactly what you are doing can cause serious problems
with the computer, so it might be a good idea to keep the hidden files
hidden if more than one person uses the computer.
