Settings > Preferences > Advanced > History > Click on "Empty Now".

Or

Settings > Delete Private Data (uncheck the others and check only "delete entire cache".

Or

You can manually delete the cache folder while Opera is closed.

You just went to some sites that has ads and/or content coming from these sites.

I don't know a way to remove them form the cache without emptying it entirely. And btw, you will not loose tabs if you delete the cache.

Maybe you can use content blocker to prevent data from these site from being downloaded.
