Delete Savegames?

Post by Dexter2078 »

Hey there,

I have accumulated alot of savegames and would like to delete some. I noticed that it's not possible to manage savegame files ingame and found them under ...appdata/roaming/factorio. (Windows 10, Steam installation)
After deleting them and launching the game Steam got stuck at the "launching game..." window and my file browser was still open with the directory so I noticed that steam wasnt stuck, it was very slowly restoring my just deleted savefiles.
At a rate of about one every 10 seconds, and i just deleted about 150 of them. Went to the trashcan and restored them, at least that skiped the slow restoring and steam reacted again.

So my question is, how am I supposed to manage my savegame files with this thing going on?
Is this the steam cloud at work? Never really looked into it.

Click on the trash bin on the top right when selecting a save.
Yes.

Yes, but deleting 150 files like this is simply too much, can't delete them in chunks.
And what about this file syncing? Can't I turn that off somewhere? Haven't found anything ingame.
