    Delete saved activities.

    Some of my past activities have a lot of saves. How and where can I delete these? Do I even need to delete any? I will keep the activity but want to get rid of the saves

    Two Ways to delete old activities

    The usual method within Open Rails....when Resuming an activity....select all the saves ( select one save, go to other end of list --- shift select...all will be selected -- then delete ) slow --- works on one activity at a time.

    For all saved activities... go to >>> C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\Open Rails ....this will have all the saved files for activities...png, txt, and others. You can sort by date & delete all files within certain dates....or delete everything in the folder. Some users do this once a year or follow other routines suited to their usage.

      And, I always do a backup of the saves BEFORE delete them.

          Thanks everyone. I will put this in my notes to myself concerning Open rails.
