How do you delete your game saves?

[OG Model Ti]

I have a bunch of saves and just want to keep it on one save and keep overwriting it. How do I delete the other saves I accidentally made?

I think it's the same as se2.
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Sniper3\PC_ProfileSaves\

You can not delete your saved games...Doesn't matter what you do, they still remain.

If u delete them locally u first should turn off Steam Cloud Save Sync for the game. Otherwise if u remove the local saves, Steam would re-sync whatever saves u had from cloud backup. So in order to delete, you need to turn off cloud, remove the local saved game files. Then go back into the game to double-check they are gone. To tigger a cloud wipe of those saves, simply start a new game once you are able to exit the game properly after starting a new game, do so. Then re-enable Steam Cloud for the game, then relaunch the game. Now you should be back to where u want to be, with your old saves gone, and thus starting a new game. Only after u exit the game later, should a new sync occur. The newly triggered sync would then only backup your new save data, and in the end wiping out your old saves stored in cloud.

I have followed all those instructions for weeks. Cloud disabled and all that. I deleted all the save games. Reboot the computer, go to the files where the saved games were and guess what, they re appear........Pointless. What I have done is set up several accounts for just this reason. So when I want to start a "Fresh New Game" I have it sent over to one of my other accounts so I can start fresh. Even Rebellion tech told me that there was no way to permanently delete the saved game files......Go figure.

Oh ok, well thanx for confirming.

It's not a big deal really, just start a new game if that is what u wish to do and when u save, over-write the old saves.

You don't understand. When I start a "New Game", all the objectives, collecting cards, and the lot are still there. No way that I know how to start a "Fresh" unless I move the game to another account.

i've faced this problem weeks ago and posted here no one responded to me, that's what i've done:after you delete the pc profile saves from my document, you need to delete this saves steam/userdata/195064083/238090/sniper3/profile saves. and all saves gone for me !! hope it helped you.

I don't have that file number. The highest file number I have in there is, "188743204". Although I found the config file in there dated 10/21/14 which coincides when I started a fresh game. But inside that folder is a ".vdf" files. I have no idea what that file is, and even if it pertains to SE3. I did find the file with saved games. But that's the same file I deleted before, and then re appears when I start the game back up.

just for addition, this also worked for me to remove everything!! delete one of them or both not sure what worked for me.
1) steam/userdata/ugcmcgcache
2) steam/userdata/238090/remote/newplayerprofile.cld(many of those)

I'll give it a shot. Thank You.

A few days ago, I bought sniper elite 3.

I would like to play the missions in random order. By this I mean, do the first mission and then take a look at the other missions, so that, you can choose which mission to play without having to do them one by one.

If anybody who has finished the game send me his checkpoints files from all the missions and I paste in the folder "pc_profilesaves", It will work?, is considerated a cheat?

I solved this problem today. You have to use Steam Reseter SAM 7.0.25 in off line mode 1. Cloud sync must be off. 2. C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Sniper3\PC_ProfileSaves\ you must delete all profiles. 3. Delite steam/userdata/some numbers like any number 1234567etc. all profiles. 4. EMPTY RECYCLE BEN. Start game. It worked to me today.

I dont see why you have to ever use SAM for this kind of thing, just go and disable the LAN/WIFI device in Networks in order to go 100% off-line, then launch Steam, now for some reason whenever you launch Steam this way, it will turn Cloud Save Sync back on by default all on its own. Go and turn that off in Steam Settings, then launch said game. Once game loads, exit the game, this should still refresh a cloud sync for it, even though Cloud is off, that just means nothing will be downloaded / uploaded with that off. Then go and mess with UserData folder area if you wish to rid that PC of Steam Cloud Sync data for a particular game.

If you really wish to backup/restore local saved game files, use GameSaveManager for this.

All this I explained is exactly how I am able to continue to play games like STALKER2 and KCD2 while not updating said games to the latest patches. I have Steam Downloads configure as to only queue updates when I don't use the PC (like 11am-12pm for example) then any game updates show up under Downloads as a queue system, then X them out so they are no even queued to start at all. I disable LAN/WIFI, load up Steam, once Steam is up fully, disable Cloud Save Syncing in Settings. Enable the LAN/WIFI and then quickly after this, launch the game I want to play but do not want to have patched; then by the time the game loads up, the Internet connection is established and thus I can still use web browser, YouTube, etc. while playing said games. All while forcing them to play un-patched. When you exit such a game with a pending game update, in the Downloads section of Steam the game update gets pushed up to queued once again, simply X that out. It'll stay down the bottom and not ever be forced on you as long as you do this sort of a trick with launching Steam while LAN/WIFI is turned off first.
