Is this possible? How do I transfer the download back into my game?

Here's where the steam cloud stuff is for an account. Obviously you'd need to sign in under your own account.

Then you'd just find the game in the list, download the save files, then overwrite your current ones.

Sounds to me like Steam is to blame for this. I always found it impossible to believe that a video game would auto-delete its own save file from a user's computer. Just didn't make any sense.

What does make sense is a game crash that unfortunately happens at the exact same moment that Steam is updating the Cloud Save file for that game, which could result in a corrupted save file on the local directory.

I have never trusted the Cloud Save system, and continue to use the Old School method of manually backing up any Steam game save file after every session to another backup drive on my system.

The save file path for this game is the following:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Star Wars – The Skywalker Saga\SAVEDGAMES\

Look for the folder with the 8 digit sequence of numbers as its folder name. That is your Steam account. Copy that entire folder to a backup folder on a secondary drive after every session. You will never loose an entire game's progress again.
