Vampire Survivors is unusually helpful because the game maintains backup copies inside its saves tree, but cloud synchronization can undermine a manual reset or rollback if the wrong copy wins. SaveEditor documents both the local AppData path and Steam’s 1794680 remote file so a player can identify whether a change was made locally or restored by the launcher. The safest recovery is to preserve the whole saves/backups tree, then choose one dated SaveData copy intentionally rather than deleting folders while cloud sync is still active.
For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: Windows/local: %APPDATA%Vampire_Survivorssaves ; Steam cloud mirror: <Steam-folder>userdata<user-id>1794680remoteSaveData ; Epic: %APPDATA%Vampire_Survivors_EGS<user-id> ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%Packagesponcle.VampireSurvivors_9pv5cyp4vwdsrSystemAppDatawgs<user-id>. The known file or folder pattern is SaveData.sav in the local save tree; backup copies are kept under the savesbackups structure.. The game has evolved through multiple storage layouts and storefronts. Current Windows local data uses the Vampire_Survivors saves tree while Steam cloud keeps SaveData under app ID 1794680.
Backup guidance: Back up the complete saves directory including its backups subfolder before using the in-game delete/reset workflow or manually replacing SaveData.sav. Steam Cloud, Epic cloud, and Xbox Cloud are documented. Launcher and cloud context matters because Epic and Microsoft Store have different roots. A Steam cloud file and local SaveData.sav may represent the same progress at different synchronization moments.
Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. Cloud synchronization can immediately recreate a file you intentionally removed. Disable or resolve cloud state before testing a manual rollback so you know which copy wins. If the expected progress is not visible, If old progress returns after deletion, check cloud sync. For a manual rollback, copy a dated backup to the live saves directory only after preserving the newest state.
