guys , i failed to comprehend how can i delete saved data from itch games , it's been weeks since i discovered the sweet genre games called visual novels , anyway , i'm in need of a detailed explanation of how to delete the saved data from my laptop , i'll start by saying that most of the ppl i asked told me of the same way which is to :

( navigate to C:\Users\[PCNAME]\AppData\Local and delete the Artifact folder) 

 yet it didn't work and i wasn't prepared to get attacked for asking further explanation so i'll just ask here and there until a kind soul answers me !

Unfortunately the process is different from game to game. The best way is to see if the game itself has a way to delete progress. If not, you can re-download the game, and progress should reset. Alternatively you can contact the developer for advice.

side note : as someone who has been into visual novels for years , i highly recommend findng games that fits your liking through the vndb.org site !! personally , i would advise you to stay away from the erotic or heavily gore implied games ,find the games u like and depending on ur budget , you may as well find free versions of them online :3

thank you for answering , the first thing i did before asking anyone was the logical thing that came to my mind which is deleting the whole game and that didn't work , just let me note that i'm not heavy gamer and i recently discovered this wonderful web which led me to play VN , i had never deleted saved games or back up them before so the whole thing is new to me .

then i tried looking searching manually inside the game files for anything that looks like saved filles or saved data , and i only managed to find this one , i'll add the pic later since i can't see what i'm writing if i put it right now , after that i deleted them thinking they're the ones , and that didn't help either , to be clear i tried this in many VN i played i even restarted my laptop .

if i said that i don't save my games on the C drive will that change anything  ? 

i'm new to this website , for starters i searched answers from the devs and the forums in here , just one dev had answered me , i tried everything i can , i hope someone can resolve my issue since it's my first time in this area .

okay , when i asked the dev , they said navigate to :  (PC: Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy and delete the Artifact folder ) ofc i changed the user to mine and that didn't help instead it gave me ( no items match your search ) .

i tried searching inside the game files itself and found inside the file called ( game ) _ ( saved ) , i deleted those , then i re entered the game and the saved files are there in their place , nothing got deleted .

in those games i've played , they don't have the option to delete the saved data from inside the game nor they're an auto saved .

i usually save my files into the D drive so i i don't know if that will make any difference but i copied them and pasted them into the C drive and repeated the process which going to (PC: Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy and delete the Artifact folder )  , i even tried the ( Windows + R ) to open the dialog box then i wrote ( %LocalApp% ) there i manually looked for the game but it didn't appear , it's like the game isn't registered in my device .

i tried to describe my problem with as much details as i can , there were no guides on you tube for itch it only redirected me to steam and steam saves in cloud so that won't help .

my native language is not English so i hope my explanation was easy and i hope this cursed issue get resolved .

thanks in advance .
