1. Secure your progression file which is data00*Slot.bin, either from Steam Cloud or the local storage, by copying the file to somewhere safe e.g. Pulpit for most people, it is just data001Slot.bin

Local save game storage looks somewhat like this

C:\Pliki programu (x86)\Steam\userdata\yourID\1446780\remote\win64_save\

make sure to look for your actual ID and not the template “yourID” in this example

2. Delete the folder ..\Steam\userdata\yourID\1446780 and all of its content
