User files in two places

I want to copy my Opera settings to another PC.   I've seen instructions to 
copy various files and folders in the "profile" folder.  But in Windows XP I 
have two Opera profile folders.  One is C:\Documents and 
Settings\MyName\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile, and one 
C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile. 
Both of these folders contain files that are updated when Opera runs.   Is 
this because I had an old installation of Opera on my PC before I installed 
the current one?

It seems a very messy way to do things, especially as there is an "Opera" 
folder that contains nothing but another "Opera" folder.  Is there any way 
that I can keep all the user data in one place and make the folder structure 
a bit more sensible, to make it easier to migrate user settings?
