How to delete GOG cloud saves?

How to delete GOG cloud saves? - 04/25/21 11:04 PM

My cloud saves for Cyberpunk are full and I need to delete some so I can sync my games saves.

Deleting them from the folder on my computer doesn't do it because they automatically reappear as soon as I start the game. I need to actually delete them from the Cloud and I have no idea how to do that.

Anyone have any input?

Thanks in advance.

I have never tried this myself, but here is some information from the GOG Support Center.

Exactly where I was going to send her, Marian! I've never done it either.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Edit: No, the Alt-Tab combo just brings up the weapon wheel. No file access at all.

It also says, "alternatively delete the game saves in-game." Did you try that? Or just go the saved games directory? It then advises you to disable the cloud saves and wait at least 24 hours.

Of course deleting them in-game is just one at a time, and there are hundreds of saves. I was hoping to do multiple deletions at a time.

Anyway I can try deleting my saves from the folder on my computer and turn off sync.

It's not critical since I can still run the game. I'm just getting sick of the error message.

I also found this post in the forum from a GOG representative:

Quote
Please make a backup of your save files(default: C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Game Title).

Now you can launch the game, Alt+Tab out of it, manually move the files outside of the save directory, after you close the game the sync should also remove them from the server.

After doing the above, please log out of the Galaxy app. You might need to wait a while for the database to refresh and remove the files in the cloud. Starting the game again right after removing files might download them to your drive.

And if the Alt/Tab is your issue, all they're wanting you to do is background the game which you can also do by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard - for most games.

So, good news and bad news: lol

I got 95% of the game saves deleted, and everything seemed fine. Cloud Saves Synced, albeit very, very slowly, and I was back in business.

For a day.

I'm getting the Cloud Sync error message again, about exceeding the space. I looked in my PC save folder, and now I have multiple iterations of the same game saves, it looks like 5 of each. hardwall

Might be time to uninstall GOG Galaxy and the game, and reinstall both.

In the meantime, I'm just going to disable the sync function.

Yikes! I'd be bashing my head too. I'm thinking you obviously don't NEED that sync function at this point!

Yeas, that would be the least frustrating option at this point.

Odd, though. I've never had trouble with Galaxy before.
