# Runtime Save Deletion

Deleting saved data can be a dangerous task, as it results in the player losing their progress. Make sure saves are being deleted only when necessary (usually only when the player manually deletes them).

## Deleting a File

Use the method below to completely remove a save file from the user's system.

```csharp
saveFile.DeleteFile();
```

## Deleting All Save Files

{% hint style="success" %}
Deleting all saves is easier in [ESave Pro](https://u3d.as/3vCT).
{% endhint %}

Deleting all save files will require you to have a reference to all of them. Using the save storage is one way of getting save files, but only the ones with `addToStorage` set to true will be available in the save storage.

```csharp
// Convert to list
var saveFiles = SaveStorage.instance.saves.Values.ToList();

// Loop through all saves and delete them
foreach (var saveFile in saveFiles)
{
    saveFile.DeleteFile();
} 
```

## Empty File

Alternatively, you have the option of completely removing all data while keeping the file in the user's system.

```csharp
saveFile.EmptyFile();
```
