Doesn't it delete the bookmarks, etc... that are stored in the profile? (On Link server you deleted them so a synchronization should delete them in the profile too) sorry to be so pedant :P

yes

Than what happens when you come back to the default profile and reactivate Opera Link? Doesn't it delete the bookmarks, etc... that are stored in the profile?

Synchronization will upload default profile data to Opera Link server.

Doesn't it delete the bookmarks, etc... that are stored in the profile?

It won't delete local data.

It's impossible to delete all the search engines.

Can it really recover default search engines data and upload it to Link server or will simply delete all but Google in the list from the server and then if you synchronize you'll have to add Wikipedia, Yahoo!, etc, again?

I didn't check search engines.
