I know this has been asked before but where can I find the saved games folder for Oblivion in Vista? I've tried to search for an old thread but I can't find it. Thanks in advance and I'm sorry for the duplication.

Try looking in Games/Oblivion/ folder. Or try making it so that the show hidden files and folders option is selected.

Then go the C:/documents & settings/application data or some similar place. Maybe they're in a place called x86 games or some similar thing.

When all else fails, try searching for .esf files.

Karsten, I don't have any saved games in my Oblivion folder and I don't know how to show hidden files. I have a Documents folder but I can't find any "documents and settings" folder. Thanks for trying to help. I wish to delete some excess saved games.

While in the game hit the Esc key to bring up the main menu and click Save. That will bring up the saved games (you probably already know that). Then hold down the Shift key and Left-click the game save record you wish to delete. You'll then be asked if you want to delete, hit Yes and you're good. Then lather, rinse, repeat for any other you want deleted...

Save games might also be stored in Games - then Oblivion. Or in the documents/Oblivion/ folder.

I know Vista likes to store save games the most unexpected places...for reasons best known to itself, I'd guess?

Thank you, Trail, the Shift/left click worked. I learned something new.

Karsten, in the past I've accidentally come across saved games that I thought would have been automatically deleted when I removed the game off the computer. Sometimes this accidental find happened months after the game deletion. I just can never remember where these secret storage places are. Definitely not in a logical place.

Try in Documents/My Games. That's where my Vista saved Oblivion saves.
