Deleting Fallout 4 Saved Games From Steam Cloud Storage

[TechGuy79]

I need some MAJOR help !!! I would like to delete the saved games from Fallout 4. However, everytime I try to do it locally, the Steam Cloud Storage keeps syncing with the game and all of my saved games reappear. Anyone know how to address this?

delete the saves from the load game menu in the fallout 4 start screen

@tulle040657... I tried that. It won't work. Always comes back after the cloud sync. Even tried playing offline. However, the game won't save a new game if it's being played offline. I'm thinking something is really corrupt.

sounfs like it, if you delete from within the game it should also delete the cloud one

Maybe turn off cloud saving, then delete the saves ingame.

That's what I thought. That's why I'm leaning towards the game files being corrupted somehow. It would help if there was a way to actually contact Steam and get someone to physically go on the cloud server and delete the saved games manually. However, at this point I think that's a pipe dream......

I leave cloud storage off, otherwise they limit the amount of saves you can have and auto delete them when storage exceeds the amount in cloud. If you leave it off, you can delete or save as often as you want. And if you are worried about losing an old save, every so often, copy the save folder to a different drive as a backup.

Just turn off cloud saves.

^THIS. Then your new saves will be in My Games/Fallout 4

I found out a way to do it. While in-game, alt-tab out of Fallout 4, go to your saves folder, and delete all the saves you don't want. Fthis is what worked for me.

First, I want to thank all of you for your help and ideas. What I ended up doing was completely removing the Fallout 4 game from my computer. Once I reinstalled it, the game allowed me to delete my saved games and the Steam Cloud Storage Server ACTUALLY removed the same saved games as well. So, everything is fixed. It seems that I did have a corrupt file after all.
