I've encountered the same problem. I thought I could delete the saves from the cloud saves directory, but I haven't found Victoria 3's one yet.

Hi! The cloud saves folder for Victoria 3 is Steam/userdata/(your user id)/529340/remote/save games
Our team could not reproduce the issue of not being able to delete the cloud saves from within the Load Game menu.
Could you make sure that you have the user privileges for modifying files within the cloud save folder?

@PDX_Sosanna As far as I can see I should have all permissions and I am set as owner of the folder.

Hi! I'll move the thread to our Technical Support forum as they might have more ideas on how to tackle this issue!

I too was unable to duplicate this problem.

Has this always been the case with this game for you? Or it used to work?

Can you manually delete saves from the folder mentioned above?

If you try from a different computer does it work there?

Just confirmed that the problem is still there on my PC and checked that other save files from the could also fails to delete, when doing it from the load menu.

I know found that only that specific save game fails to delete, I also noticed that I have a local save game version which I believe i identical and named the excact same. I removed the local version and this did not allow me to delete the cloud version.

I tried duplicating the issue by creating a local and cloud save with excact same name and from same point in the game - this did not duplicate the error. I tried it both when from the start menu, and from a current game session. Also without closing the game and after closing the game.

I can delete the save from my cloud save folder, which causes it to be recreated at startup. And I can still not delete it from the within the game.

I have attached save games. First is from local, second is from cloud.

Naturally, as it still exists in the Steam Cloud.

If you try from a different computer does it work there?
