My world is getting a little smelly from all the dead adventurers. So I want to delete the old one and start another. Only, I can't  find my save files in the save folder. In fact, absolutely nothing is in there.

If your data/save folder is empty (no folders named current or regionX) then your save no longer exists. Can you still load your previous world ?

[Patarak]

Yes, I can. If it means anything, I couldn't export the world pictures to the DF folder neither.

[Chariot]

are you using vista? if so the saves apparantly end up in another location due to vista defaults

[Lightman]

Search for world.sav

That should be easy.

Does Vista really affect where saves are? Tsk tsk... another reason for me not to install Vista ;p

Check in c:\users\(your username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\

Essentially this is a security measure that disallows non-admin programs from writing to Program Files, but instead of breaking, "virtualizes" it and sticks them in that user-writable folder instead.

That was the first feature of vista I turned off.
