In GZDoom 4.12.2, the built-in mechanism for deleting save games doesn't seem to work.
If you save your game, the go to the save game/load game menu and try to delete a game with the "delete" key, the game brings up the delete game dialog and it appears to work - the save disappears from the menu.
But if you close the save game/load game menu and re-open it, the save is there again, and if you look in the game directory, the save file is still there too.
It should be noted I have defined a custom save directory in my config file that stores the saves in the source port's main folder (save_dir=saves). Also when playing with mods, I define a more complex save directory in the command line to help me keep track of which save files are for what mod (saves/map_pack_name/gameplay_mod_name).

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Since 4.9.0 there is no Save or saveganes folder,
just noticed the misspelling, when unzipping the 7z files
from https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/
However, in the ini file you can specify a dedicated folder for your save games,
from where you can delete unwanted saves.

I just noticed this bug and freaked out a bit. Nice to know it's already been taken care of. I'm guessing the fix will be pushed in the next update?
