@Thomas W.'s answer didn't work for me on Ubuntu 14.04. I had to use:
sudo dpkg -r opera-stable
And to remove the apt sources file added by Opera:
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list

When you install via the downloaded .deb binaries/installer and not the opera repository for Opera, then it was installed with dpkg, and not apt-get.
Try using sudo dpkg --remove opera or sudo dpkg -r opera to remove it.
