Delete cloud save content

[Johnny5]

Hi,

I want to delete some saves from the cloud saving feature, since there is too much and the game that costs too much space has cloud saving disabled anyway. I solved it locally for that game.
But the saves (1.2gb) are still taking up space towards the storage limit there, and I want to clear that (and clear the warning I keep getting).

All I could find on the internet is enabling cloud sync and then deleting locally and letting that sync to the cloud... but cloud sync gives an error, so it never syncs, so I don't get to delete the files.

Does anyone know of another way?

Sounds like the Steam cloud needs syncing.
Enable cloud remote saves in that game properties local files> then look under the Artwork next to Play. Steam link appears.
Click on that to sync it to Steam. If it dont work first time click it again.
It should show uploading now. Once done then disable cloud remote saves in the game properties. Link disappears for Steam under Artwork.
If it says file mismatch use HDD saves.

This is a new feature with Steam as of March the 4th.

I'm having problems with cloud saves too. Playing Surviving Mars on both PC and laptop like I do with other games, yet cannot get the files to sync. Its like the remote file location is waiting for an upload from both computers, but uploads wont begin because PC is waiting for laptop and vice-versa.

Yeah, that is the ideal world procedure, but if the upload step in your description does not work because there is not enough space, you can never pass that step. You can retry indefinitely (I thought about 5 times was enough to try, and I gave up)
