Trying to get a clean install, can't get rid of old save games

Hi, I have tried to go through the regedit, and have actually deleted the save files folder for BG2 (in the documents/BG2 EE/save), but when I try to start a game the save files are back (as is the folder I had just deleted). What am I missing?

    Cloud saves, maybe? It sounds like you're pulling a backup from somewhere.

    There's an option for cloud saves, though it's not accessible in game; it's one of the lines in baldur.lua.
    SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Cloud Saves Enabled','0')
    0 for off, 1 for on.

    Even with that option off, if you completely remove the save folder, playing the game will immediately recreate it (though not with any content). The game needs somewhere to put its saves - if nothing else, the frequent autosaves.

    Saves can also be deleted in-game. On either the save or load screens, selecting an existing save will give you the option to delete it.
