Can't delete save game.

[Iki]

I delete the save in the slot, but then I only get the option to 'Continue' from my last saved location.

This needs fixing.

I'm way too late to this.... But, for anyone else just trying to start anew, I found a way to delete it.

WARNING: This will erase EVERYTHING, I couldn't figure out how to delete just one save. Although the issue seems to be with the first save slot.

Uninstall the game, then install it with "Save data for this game on the cloud" option ticked off. This option is found in the settings menu for the game under "Manage - General" inside Steam.

Then, once installed, launch it once and close it, just don't play, get to the main menu and quit. You should not have any local saves but your previous cloud saves might still be there. So then navigate to both the local saves folder ("%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\A Plague Tale Innocence\" for Windows. For Mac: "eww, who plays in Mac?") and the cloud saves located in the steam folder ("<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\752590\"). For the local saves folder just downright delete the whole directory. Then, for the steam cloud folder delete everything inside the folder. Not the directory itself, just its content.

Finally, open the game again, it'll throw some errors upon selecting the first save slot but just accept the default configurations and re-adjust the initial settings, and you're done. You can re-activate "Save data for this game...." again and if it throw an error, make sure to upload the local save instead of synchronizing with the cloud.

Not too late! I'll definitely use this when / if I restart the game. When it goes too long since I played something I always want to start from the start.

As soon as some one answers a topic with no previous solution, and with a constructive explanation, it is NEVER too late.
Only some short-sighted persons would say that it is wrong...

I start playing the game only now as I wanted to experience in 1 time the whole story (Requiem after this game), and thank you for this welcome solution!

Hello, I managed to do this in a quicker way by doing this:

* Disable Steam Cloud for the game (Properties, General).
* Go into the save files folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[user_id]\752590\) and delete the SLOT00 file.
* Start the game, the first slot should have the name "Slot corrupted". Delete it as you would. The difference is that it will now be a proper new Slot with the "new game" option, no collectibles, etc (it also resets the Game Settings, but keeps the Graphics settings and others intact).
* Get into Chapter 1 and exit the game.
* Reactivate Steam Cloud. Steam will say "File conflict" or similar, tell it to use your local data instead of the cloud data.
