    My friend went on my laptop and I told him he could play the game. The fool made about 10 games and titled them like " AAAAA " and shit like that. You people may not know this but I am a perfectionist and it is pissing me off.

    Go to wherever you installed Victoria II, go to "saved games" and delete the files you want to delete. If there's no "saved games" folder, it's probably somewhere in My Documents (that's what they did with CKII, at least).

    If it's vanilla Vicky2, then the former, if it's AHD, then the latter.

    They changed it for AHD? Strange...I mean, I get why they'd implement that, as it's generally easier to find (except for me, I'm used to searching those files in the installation directory), but I don't think changing it in an expansion is the best idea. Oh well, people usually end up finding them anyway.

    I feel like such a noob, what you mean by where I installed it?

    The install directory. If you have it on Steam, it's in Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\victoria ii (or something along those line). If you don't have it on Steam, it's probably somewhere in Program Files.

    Hmmm I have it on steam but it doesnt say Steam.

    Edit- NVM I found it in Program Files x86 for some reason.

    But another problem.

    I went to LocalDisk/ProgramFiles(86x)/CommonFiles/Steam.

    My only option is to click SteamServices and install it, When it says the whole " Do you want to make this installation " and when I click Yes a little black box appears out of nowhere and closes its self literally half a secound later.

    Hmm, if you have Windows 7 (or Vista, but I'm not too sure about that), there might be a Program Files (x86) as well, that's the folder in which I have it installed.

    Yeah I figured that out, I edited the post while you were typing this.

    Ah, ok, I see.

    However, there should be a Steam folder in Program Files, in which you can find all game files. Looking in Common Files indeed gives the files you named.

    You don't delete them. They haunt you forever.

    I had the same problem........Just did a search for Saved game name.......If its named AAAA should be easy to find

    They ended up being under C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/ProgramFiles/ParadoxInteractive/SaveGames
