Deleting Saves

[Nobody]

I want to be able to delete my saved games, but doing it manually takes forever. Does anyone know where the saves games are located in file search? So I can just do a mass nuke?

It should be under "my documents->witcher 3->save games"

Make sur to turn off steam cloud or it will redownload all of the saves you deleted.

But how can I remove them from the steam could? Because I would like to have it enabled, just not so many save :.

[MrFrengLitch]

Then you won't be able to delete them going with the folder. The onyl way you will be able to deleted them is by opening up the "load save" menu in the game and deleting them 1 by 1. It will take a very long time.

You can run the exectuable without steam running.
Go in and delete your saves from the folder directly, then run the executable.
Play for a while and then exit out and boot up steam and start the game through steam.
Steam will say that the cloud doesnt match your local files and ask you if you want to download from the cloud or upload from your machine.
Upload from your machine and that should reset the sync.

speaking of deleting saves, will my saves be deleted if i delete lacal content or will it be saved in the cloud?

If you delete the saves in game while connected to the cloud it erases the cloud. But if you disable the cloud, it saves them there. Be careful though, if you re enable it will over write it sometimes.

Try this:
1) Start steam
2) Wait until saves are in sync with cloud
3) Start game
4) When game window appears - go to file browser and delete saves
5) Go back to game window and create new game
6) Save manually (may be not necessary)
7) Close game
8) Let steam sync your saves

For me result is:
- 4 new save files appeared in save folder
- after steam save sync old saves didn't reappear
