Also, I would suggest clearing your cache before moving to ensure all the old cache files get deleted.

1. Close Opera.
2. Create a folder on your storage card where the cache files will go.* I chose \Storage Card\Program Files\Opera\cache4, but I don't think the folder structure or folder name matter.
3. Open \Application Data\Opera9\opera.ini in a text editor.
4. In the [User Prefs] section, add the following line: Cache Directory4=[full path to folder on storage card].
5. Save and close opera.ini.
6. Restart Opera. Your cache is now being written to your storage card."

Found another way to do this on HowardForums.

Step 2 would be the same, you still need to create a folder.

Otherwise type opera:config in address field and it opens all sorts of changes you can make. Go to Cache and change the directory so it points to your new folder. No text editting...
