Persistent save file VAB even deleting it all

[principe suiço]

Guys, I'm having a problem that this pissing me off.

I delete some crafts on the VAB list because i have too many.

Anyway, even deleting the craft file directly on the folder, nothings happen! when i reload the game that s... stills there!

I also tried deleting the full VAB folder, subassemblies, the mod that came with this craft, everything!!! reinstalled the game but it keeps showing me, how can i delete this??

Make sure you have steam cloud enabled.

In game delete the crafts you wish to delete... make sure you close the game properly and let it sync with steam, this will remove them from the cloud save.

Restart game.

Sounds like you have steam cloud save turned on. Dont know for sure. But if you delete the file from the craft directory it should be gone for good. Something is putting it back. Id bet steam cloud.

I think I read this the opposite way. He said he wants to delete these but they keep coming back. Steam Cloud Save would do that.

I am saying to delete them in game and let it sync.... sync with game after deleted with cloud on will remove them from cloud. If you don't remove them with cloud on they will stay.

The other easy way is to just copy the game files to another location and play it there so steam won't touch it. Then you can delete them and cloud will have nothing to do with them.

Also if you disable cloud function in game and steam, remove the files manually and start game. If the game syncs anyway you may need to restart steam for it to take effect. Either way alt tab out and make sure saves are empty and close game. Turn back on cloud and start game, steam should see two different dates and ask what one you want to use for cloud.

The problem is that the game doesnt allow me to delete it in game.

Are you turning off cloud save not only for the game but for steam in steam settings? IDK about any youtubes I just did it myself when I had an issue.

Have you tried a clean install where you not only uninstall but delete the folder? That is typically the best way to clear out any mods. Also if you were running different versions uncheck and recheck DLC and do a file verify... although a clean install should do that part anyway.

By not deleting the folder after an uninstall you may be leaving bits of mods that are messing with the game letting you delete them? IDK I don't mod to avoid issues personally.

edit add - you may also want to make sure "stock" craft are unchecked in game settings so you don't get those as well.
