Can you DELETE old saved games?

How do I free up space by getting rid of the SAVE GAMES I'm no longer using?

Go to either the load or save screen (can't remember which) and there is a delete button on the bottom, highlight and delete!

He's right it is on the "Save game" screen. I don't know why they didn't put a delete on the Load game screen. So you have to actually start the game, exit to the menu and choose Save to Delete your old saves.

To get rid of them all and start fresh....go to My Documents and find the SH4 folder. Open to data, open then cfg and delete saved games and rich saved games folders. Now you have a fresh start.

oh wow. I can't believe I missed it. I have like, 100 saved games I need to ditch. Better use the other option then...thanks!

I think it's because, when you delete a save, anything saved after that point is also deleted (or is that only in SH3?). If that's the case, it's nice to have a "save-able" position already in computer memory.

The delete saves was added as an afterthought in some patch believe it or not.
