How do I delete old saved games?

[azprairiedog]

Hi all,
Just 1 question but it's driving me crazy! I have a whole long list of old saved games & after trying everything I could think of, I still can't figure out how to delete them...can anyone help me with this, or do I have to uninstall the damn game to get rid of them?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with it.

Hi azprairiedog, welcome to CFC!

This question is answered in the FAQ. That is a good starting placed to look for answers before posting.

I have tried opening the saved file and right clicking on the file but it does not delete it loads. Help please!!!! I have to many old saved games.

You can always select the first file, hold your mouse over the last file, and while pressing SHIFT click on the last file. This should select all the files. Simply hit the delete key, and after a confirmation box they go away.

I tried that but it still does not work. When I go to Load game all the old games are still there. I cannot get them gone. Thank you for trying to help me though.

Are you doing this from the standard Windows Explorer Window? You cannot dlete from in-game.

Well, you can if you've set WindowsFileBox=1 in the .ini file. Then it's just the standard windows file box we all know and love.

Good point, Turner.

Just trying to be sure nelsonapril isn't trying to delete files from the *standard* Civ3 filebox.
