To not confuse people, you should change step 2 to:
Open %localappdata% and delete step 3.
Otherwise nice work sniffing this out cause I was far too lazy to.

that said from what i do know cloud save data is normally deleted after being unused for so long(talking about a certain game being unused it will delete the data andseeing as i still dont understand how warframe is linked to my steam but im signed onto my account yet am unable to link my account to the steam account that i originally created warframe on)

you actually cant(unless you know exactly how) on window 8 and seeing as i dont know how to switch it to the "classic" layout nor do i really want to, i will be unable to utilize your method here

What next, a guide for how to uninstall the game?
Oh, wait, one of my favorite guides does exactly that!
For another game though:

You just have to love the funny way and with which dedication it was written ^_^

@Vermilisix Yes, saves are loaded from Steam cloud, but not if you turn the steam cloud option in game properties off. From then on it will be local play and you'll be able to remove the save.
You can use steam cloud again after that to replace the save in the cloud with the new one.

"Save loaded from Steam cloud!"

erasing your save

But what is this useful for?
