Delete a saved game while in-game ?

Post by Dragonrider »

I'm an experienced Oblivion player new to Morrowind.
I have read thru all the guides, including the FAQ above, and done a search.
I can't find the answer to this basic question:

I made 2 saved games before I realized I only need 1

How do I delete my 2nd unnecessary saved game while playing the game ?

There must be a simple answer to this, I'm surprised I can't find it.

You can't delete from the game, you need to go into program files Bethesda>Morrowind>saves (or wherever they are depending on your OS) and delete from there.

Hmmm..
Well, I followed the path:
C: program files(86)..Steam...Steamapps...common...morrowind...saves
I deleted them
but back in the game the two saves remain, unchanged

any idea what I'm doing wrong, please ?

Aah!
Right click to delete doesn't work.
But physically dragging the entire saved file over to the recycle bin did!
Back in the game and these files are now gone.
Thankyou for your help, Rohugh.

A friendly tip : when you want some nasty file to be erased from the astral plane, Shift-DEL is more efficient than an AWP shooting explosive bullets filled with anthrax
