just back up your game save and then delete the original.

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Returnal\Steam\Saved\SaveGames

i would zip the entire contents of that folder and then delete everything in there. backing up is optional but i wouldnt want to lose the progress just in case.

Thanks, was also my impression. Weird there is no option for that.

I had to disable cloud saves so my save would stay deleted.

Strange there's no New Game+ as it would have made more sense and thanks for this question as I want to start fresh again

Thanks, wanted a new game mode for brothers to play. So this is a good workaround.

To start new game first i need to delete the save file ( i will backup of course) and then disable the steam cloud so it won't download it again and stay deleted. The question is: How can i put back the save the old one? Just replace the save disable the steam cloud and then re enable it ? I'm lost to be honest. If someone can say step by step exactly what should i do i will greatly appreciate it. For sure i know that i have to disable Steam cloud

it's actually crazy to me that games get released without basic save control from within the game itself.

Maybe ...Users\*username*\... is in a different location for you. Like on a different drive. In File Explorer search for "AppData".

where it says *username*, its not actually that but whatever your actual profile name is on windows, its different for everyone. i see you already got another way around it but its a safe bet to manually go there in windows explorer, start at c drive, then users, then your username, etc.
