Become root and explore the directory to discover what's inside.
su
ls /media/opera -la
The Opera browser does not install anything to /media.

Maybe you inserted an optical media/usb stick/redive called opera?

Try pacman -Qo OPERA. There is a very small chance pacman has accidentally installed something there, but it's worth trying anyway to see if it pops up in the database.

Pacman doesn't show that OPERA is installed. Listing of OPERA shows empty folder.
Today I bought one sandisk 4g usb but it doesn't have a name. Nautilus see usb as 4gb. chkrootkit doesn't show something strange.
Date when the folder was created is august 2008 and I don't remember doing something unusual at that time. At any time at all.
Is it safe to delete that folder?

Sure, go ahead and delete it. You can always recreate it in the unlikely case that something goes wrong. Btw, pacman cannot tell you which packages owns a directory.

Really? Hmm. I suppose that's reasonable, considering how many packages might own something like /usr/share.

OK. I will try with deleting OPERA dir.
Thanx for help

Well its a kind of solved.
Yesterday I've burned some distros on cd and than I checked if they mount (have some problem with reading different brands of cd/dvd and I just bought a new one). There was a several burned cd's and Mandriva2009 was between them. dvd reader worked well but this morning I discover that I have a new dir in /dev - Mandriva2009 !
