I started steam and rimworld and of course steam synced with its cloud server and I got all saves back and forth as usual.
So the game started with steam cloud synced. While ingame I for once deledet all not wanted files within the game menu, but that left me still with some files, I could not access ingame (like some old backups in different folders and so on that were still in the steam cloud)
So I continued with the game running in background (!) and went to my savegame folder, in this case it is ~user/library/application support/rimworld for I am working on a mac.
And - what is important - while the game was still running in background, I deleted all not wanted files manually in the finder (the finder with mac is like the file explorer in windows) just took them to the trash bin.
And after getting rid of all not wanted old save backup folders and files, only then I did quit the game from the ingame menue and voilá: game-exit index process gave just all the folder content as is to the steam index sync process and without any disabling steam cloud saving or else I now have only the files I left there. No re-load via steam cloud after deleting them like that.
Hope this might help all of you who want to get rid of old or unwanted game saves in the steam cloud and I hope it works with all other games just fine ;)
regards, doc.
Warning: You may lose progress if you delete saves that you want to keep without backing them up first. Follow the first series of steps if you need help backing up your saves, otherwise back them up on your own, and proceed to the second series of steps. If you don't back them up, and delete saves from both your computer and the steam cloud at the same time, you could lose all your hours of game progress.
How to back up your saves:
1. Navigate to your save game folder (this varies for each game). Google "title save games directory" and replace title with the name of your game.
2. Create a new folder on your desktop named "My old saves" (or whatever other name for the folder, in whatever location you want).
3. Copy and paste all your saves from your save game folder into "My old saves"
4. Go back to your original save game folder you found in step 2)
5. Remove/ move whatever saves you need to.
Okay, now that your saves are safely backed up, you can do the steps by @Doc.Freder to update your steam cloud save games. Here they are in some easy steps:
Updating steam cloud save games:
0. Launch steam (steam needs to be running for this to work)
1. Run your game
2. Navigate to your save game folder (this varies for each game)
3. Cut and move, or delete the saves you want to.
4. Close your game
