It is currently not possible to delete saves when running Factorio from an ExFAT partition on Windows 10 (20H2).
Temporary files in the "temp" folder won't be deleted as well.

The deletion fails with the error "Can't remove FILENAME: Wrong parameter" (see attachement)

When moving the installation to an NTFS prartition everything works as expected.

Seems like maybe an improper implementation of symlink_status, as it shouldn't fail.
But knowing it's related to exFat(and probably other non-NTFS partitions on Windows), I made a workaround.

Should be fixed in Version: 1.1.12.
