UGameplayStatics::DeleteGameInSlot

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Deletes the save game file associated with a given slot name. Returns true if the file was deleted; returns false if the slot did not exist or deletion failed.

Caveats & Gotchas

• A false return does not distinguish between 'slot never existed' and 'deletion failed due to permissions or I/O error' — call DoesSaveGameExist first if you need to tell these apart.
• This is a synchronous file operation on the game thread; on platforms with slow storage it can cause a visible hitch. For production use, consider wrapping it in an async task.
