You can delete God of War Ragnarök save data through your platform’s storage settings or, on Windows PC, by removing the game’s save files. Save data is managed separately from the installed game, so deleting the application alone will not reset your progress. Back up anything you may want to keep before deleting it.

Delete a save on PS5

  1. Close God of War Ragnarök.
  2. Open Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings.
  3. Choose Saved Data (PS5) for the PS5 edition, or Saved Data (PS4) if you are playing the PS4 edition on your PS5.
  4. Select Upload or Delete from Console Storage, choose God of War Ragnarök, then use the deletion controls shown for the saved-data item.

These are PlayStation’s documented steps for managing saved data on PS5. They let you manage the game’s saved-data item, but PlayStation’s guide does not confirm that every version of the game lets you delete a single manual or autosave slot. Check the options shown on your console rather than assuming a particular slot can be removed. PlayStation’s PS5 storage guide

Delete a save on PS4

PlayStation’s cited guidance explains how to manage saved data and select a game to view related files when copying PS4 saves to USB, but it does not provide a complete current deletion walkthrough specific to PS4. Check the saved-data management menus on your console before confirming deletion. To make a backup first, PlayStation documents copying PS4 saved data to a USB drive formatted as FAT or exFAT.

C:Users[YOUR USER]Saved GamesGod of War

Replace [YOUR USER] with your Windows account name. The save is inside a folder named with a string unique to your user. The studio support representative banshee_SMS warned in a Steam support post on September 19, 2024: “If you permanently delete your save data file your progress will be lost. Any tampering with the save data file may result in lost progression or other issues.” Santa Monica Studio’s save-location post

Back up, then remove the intended files

  1. Close the game and make a copy of the God of War save folder somewhere safe.
  2. Check Steam Cloud for synchronization status or a pending conflict before changing local files.
  3. Delete only the save data you intend to remove. Avoid editing or renaming save files; the studio warns that tampering can cause progression issues.
  4. When you next start the game, read any Steam Cloud prompt carefully before choosing a local or cloud copy.

Check cloud saves before deleting or relaunching

On PlayStation, downloaded-game saves are stored in console storage. PlayStation Plus members can upload saves to cloud storage and download them to a device; its guide distinguishes PS4 and PS5 saved-data categories. The cited USB-copy instructions apply to PS4 saves, not PS5 saves. PlayStation’s save and transfer guide

Steam Cloud can store game saves. Steam warns that if local and cloud files change without synchronizing, it may show a conflict. Choosing the wrong copy can lose data or progress, and Steam says lost saves are unlikely to be recoverable through Steam Support. Review the conflict and synchronization status before deleting files or launching the game again. Steam Cloud

Deleting the game is not the same as deleting its saves

If your goal is to free space by uninstalling God of War Ragnarök, use the console or PC’s game/app storage controls. If your goal is to reset progress or clear saved data, use the saved-data controls described above. PlayStation lists management of games/apps separately from management of saved data, so removing the installation does not by itself perform the save deletion. PlayStation’s storage guide
