Is there a way to delete a single save file for a game instead of all of the save files?

good evening

It is generally possible to delete a single save file for a game, rather than all of the save files at once. The specific method for doing this will depend on the platform on which the game is running and the specific game itself.

On a computer, you can often delete individual save files by navigating to the folder where the game stores its save files and deleting the specific file that you want to remove. The location of the save files will vary depending on the game and the operating system that you are using.

On a console, you can often delete individual save files by accessing the system's storage management menu and selecting the specific save file that you want to delete. The exact steps for doing this will depend on the specific console that you are using.

If you are unable to delete a specific save file using these methods, it is possible that the game does not allow individual save files to be deleted. In this case, you may need to delete all of the save files and start over if you want to reset your progress in the game.

In reality it depends on the game and if the dev team bothered to code in a function, Look for a youtube guide on how to do said action,Ask members of the community, or poke around the settings for the game.

Hi there,

If I remember correctly the way to delete save files is in game on the load a save page it should give an option to delete a highlighted save file. But it's been a while since I played it.

It's unfortunate that this happened but it's not possible to retrieve the save files of the games. Is it possible that when you deleted the gamer tag you selected "Delete Profile and Items" instead of just "Delete Profile Only". Selecting the first option
would have also deleted your save game files.

Okay so I deleted my saved files locally by going through the settings and then to storage and deleted all of my local files, and despite the fact that I had already delete the save file for dark souls 2 through the manage game option, this somehow worked
instead. No idea why but hopefully this will help someone else. So if you're having this issue just delete all of your local files through settings and then when you reboot the game it should sync just fine.
