How to access and delete save files in Baldur’s Gate 3?

The game’s developer advised fans to delete the Early Access save files before playing the RPG. They claimed it would reduce the risk of a conflict between the Early Access and complete game files. Hence, fans have been looking for how to access and delete those files.

There are two methods to delete those Early Access game files. Let’s start with the easy one:

• Start the game and select Load Game from the main menu.
• Select your in-game character’s name to present all the saved files under it.
• Select the saves you plan to eliminate, then click delete instead of load.

It is an easy method to access and delete the Early Access files. But for it, the game should be installed. Let’s look into the complex procedure, but it will work.

• Search %AppData% to access the AppData folder, where fans must find the Local folder.
• Enter the Local folder to the Larian Studios folder and then the Baldur’s Gate 3 folder containing all the saved files.
• Fans should delete the entire folder of BG3. Then they should uninstall the game and turn off cloud saves of the game in Steam.

This method would completely delete all traces of the Early Access edition of the game from the computer and let fans start fresh with the complete version.
