Neither the game nor Steam deliberately delete save files, so I'm not sure what happened . So far as I know Steam do not back up or archive files deleted from their cloud storage.

Are you 100% sure they were in cloud saves? Local saves are here:
Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/save games/

Before saves are synced up to the Steam cloud, they are written to .../Steam/userdata/{yourSteamID#}/529340/remote/save games/ - are they there perhaps?

Hi! No, i was wrong. Autosaves locate locally.
I checked the local save folder but it disappeared locally too. Now that is a game problem, not steamcloud?

I checked the local save folder but it disappeared locally too.

Sorry, the local save game folder is gone? Or the save files you believe you wrote there? Because again, they are never deliberately deleted - although autosaves do overwrite each other.

Do manual saves work okay?
