How to delete Steam Cloud Saves for Skyrim SE
By bread technician
This guide shows you how to remove unwanted cloud saves from Skyrim (And all other games that use steam cloud saves!). There is currently no option to delete steam cloud saves so I found this little trick and wanted to share.

Step 1
Go to your steam library -> right click on Skyrim -> click on "manage" -> check "enable steam cloud saves". This is enabled by default but please make sure you have done it.

If it was unchecked then all your stored saves will now be redownloaded which is what we want!

Step 2
Launch Skyrim SE and click the play button.

Click on "load" and then click on "show all saves"


You will now see a list of your saves.
Step 3
Go through the list and delete the saves you would like to remove from the steam cloud.


When you have finished deleting the saves, go ahead and close the game.

Steam will now re-sync and remove the saves you have removed from the cloud.
Finished!
Your save files will now be all neat and tidy!

Ysmir, I was under the impression that you could not expand your storage space on the steam cloud but I am unsure on that one. This shows you how to free-up some space on your steam cloud by deleting any save files that you would like to remove.
