Career saves.

As the warning says on that page, deleting anything previous to your current save will also delete all that comes after it. Found that out the hard way.

Isn't it the case that deleting a save only deletes those before it?

As U-Crank stated, it says anything after. Which is why i was asking, hoping there was a trick to it. I made a backup of my career, and then tried to delete an earlier save. By doing that it deleted all of the ones after it, including my current save. I had to restore the files.

Doesn't make sense why it is done this way. At least not to me.

My guess would be it has to keep them in order to keep all the totals of your career stats up to date/correct. If it let you delete several saves with sinkings in them, to the sim, it would be like they never happened.

Think it would be best to keep them for the reason HW3 says.

That makes sense.

Where are these saves located and how much space on a HDD do they require? Just curious as my "game" drive is quite full
