Does uninstalling a game in Steam removes the save data too

[jonharveytorres]

I was wondering if i uninstall a game of mine in steam will it also remove its save data??

No, at least I've never experienced it myself. Every game I own keeps its save data in a different location to the game's files.

Sometimes. As long as the save data is saved outside the games base directory (most do this nowadays), then the save data will remain if the game is uninstalled.

Is it like in the steam cloud or something?

^ I'd say they're absolutely right, if you havent disabled the cloud sync option they will be safe

Thank you so much , I didnt actually disabled the cloud. Now uninstall my games with worrying of loosing data , if you guys were curious the game was Dying Light
