How do I start a new game, overwriting a save slot?

[Sir Alonne]

I've used all 3 save slots but on one of the incomplete ones i want to start an UN run, but I don't see an option to delete the previous save or start a new game in the existing save slot...

you can delete your savegame in the menu where you select your savegame. mouseover the one to delete and press R

Thanks, I wondered about this myself.

Delete the save file in C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base\savegame

Did not work. Are you running on zDoom?

Don't delete your save file via windows, make sure you back it up 1st.

you guys understand this is the page for doom 2016 and not doom (classic)

I have beat I'm to young to die, hurt me plenty, and ultra violence. BUT I don't want to delate all of progress, all of my wepons, all my accomplishments, all of my achievements in I'm to young to die, hurt me plenty, and ultra violence So I have this question HOW do I select nightmare and ultra nightmare WITH OUT deleteing game slot 1 game slot 2 and game slot 3?

its impossible... but also unnecessary to keep it bcs u cant drag anything to another slot. ull keep the steam achivements ofc. i recommend u to delete the lowest difficulty slot and start a campagin in the next difficulty. i prefer nightmare bcs its the most fun ;)

edit ah u can copy ur savegames to backup it if u want to. goto %userprofile%\saved games\id software\doom\base\
there ull find a folder named with savegame.user. copy this folder to keep ur savegames (all 3 slots) but remember if u ever copy this folder back into the base folder of doom, backup the existing one or all new progress is lost ;)

Mostly what Ransom said. Keep your Ultra-Violence run (if you want it), but you can delete it as well, if you have beaten it on UV there is a fair chance you can beat it on Nightmare, but do keep a Nightmare campaign saved for practice if you ever start Ultra-Nightmare.
With a completed UV run, there is really no point in keeping a save on I'm Too Young To Die, or HMP.

When I pay Doom Eternal shows 3 slots but the save directory only has "DOOMEternalConfig.cfg" and "DOOMEternalConfig.local" which are configuration data.

Save Game Slots are in "\Steam\userdata\72017960\782330\remote"
