How do I mass delete saves.

[TurdBurglar]

I have over 300 saves for KSP and I don't want to sit there for an hour and click delete them all. Any faster way?

You can open up the saves folder in your system files and control+click them to select all the ones you want then press delete.

The saves folder would be in...
...Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\saves

[SpaceKraken]

lol, i'm not the only person who makes a new save every time i launch the game again?

[JoeDaTomato]

Huh, I have three. Three hundred is just crazy to me.

Jupiter is right, though.

In my main career games, I tend to save often to named files--usually based on date and time and perhaps an event (e.g. "2018-01-28 1335 Maxly rescued"). So just a few careers, but hundreds of saves per career after each finished mission, completed maneuver, etc. I sometimes purge some in bulk as Jupiter suggested--how many saves per day do you really need? But having those saves did come in handy when I discovered the cockpit had mysteriously floated off my base on route to Tylo. Ended up having to go back 5 named saves to find a copy where it was still intact.

That makes more sense. I had interpreted saves as games, as I'm on a lot of forums and this is the only one that makes a distinction.

I delete on the go, and only keep a minimum of four, and a max of about thirty.

Why would you have 300 saves!? I only made about 5 in my...what, 4 years of playing KSP?
(By the way if you don't want more random comments like this you should lock or delete the post)

[Chibbity]

He's probably talking about quicksaves. I'd wager I have several hundred myself in my current career game.

Also, he's not a moderator, he can't lock or delete the post. (You can delete but not once a few people have responded.)

[natty]

Oh yeah, sorry I haven't been on discussions for a long time.
And yeah, that still stands what I said, I don't think I've quicksaved a lot.

I was to busy playing the game to delete my quicksaves. So now I have the delete them all.

When I do this it will actually say my save is incompatable. Or am I doing somthing wrong?
