I have quite a lot of save games and it would be nice to be able to load without guessing which one is it. So, can you delete save games?

Only by going into windows explorer... there is no such option in game.

The save game files come in pairs ... i recommend deleting both.

Okay, which files?
 
In Vista it takes a bit more digging.

I finally found files in:

C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday\scenarios\save games

NOTE: The text "<your_user_name>" is replaced with your account name on the Vista computer.

Vista will virtualize your save games as a security measure to prevent you from messing with them, if you installed the game to C:\program files\... Basically Vista has hidden your savegame files from you because it considers you a security risk. There are various ways to find them again but not real simple if you are not familiar with vista. Google "show compatibility files". here is an example link that explains this.

UAC (user account control) can be disabled which will allow you to do things as if you were using XP operating system. Google "UAC disable" - here is one link with explanation of how to disable it. You can find more easily.

If you don't want to disable UAC you can get around it by installing games somewhere other than c:\Program files\. For example, I install games to C:\MyGames.

I suggest you brush up on vista a little, if you are stuck with it.

Turn off UAC in Vista and NEVER EVER install ANYTHING in the C:\program files folder.... and you will never have the issues of virtualization again

It is very frustrating that you cannot easily delete saved games. What a bad design. I have to say, I am very disappointed in this game.

It's a paradox tradition. It would no doubt be pretty easy to implement, but it has been that way since 1998 and they have never voiced any intention to change it, despite hundreds of user suggestions. And to be honest, not being able to delete savegames from within the game is not that much of an issue. The problem of not being able to find the savegames in Windows Vista, OTOH, is not a Paradox problem but one of Vista and uneducated users... ;)
