Blueprint node & C++ equivalent
UGameplayStatics::DeleteGameInSlot(TEXT("Slot1"), 0);What does the Delete Game In Slot node do?
Delete Game In Slot permanently removes the save file associated with a slot name and user index. After it runs, DoesSaveGameExist for that slot returns false and LoadGameFromSlot returns nullptr.
The function returns a bool indicating whether the deletion succeeded.
DeleteGameInSlot C++ example
Call UGameplayStatics::DeleteGameInSlot(TEXT("Slot1"), 0);. The arguments are the same slot name and user index you used when saving, so the engine targets the correct file.
If the slot does not exist, the call simply does nothing meaningful and reports failure rather than throwing.
When to use it in C++
Use this for a Delete Save or Erase Slot menu action, or to clean up temporary autosaves. There is no undo, so confirm intent in the UI before calling it on a player's progress.
