Where is the Morrowind saved game folder?

[roadbum]

Just started playing MW again and for the life of me I can't find the saved game folder (I want to delete a few games) If you know let me know too. Thanks

For me it has always been in the saves folder in the games directory.

 

Did you make a search using the quicksave keyword?

[roadbum]

Search brought up quicksave all right but nothing that I was looking for. Seriously, I've been through my whole computer and come up with nothing I thought the game folder was in documents but no.

And more precisely?

If Morrowind's installed in Program Files you could be running into folder virtualisation.

Start Windows Explorer aka File Manager in Windows 3.x in Windows and search for "*.ess" without quotes for the partition you have Morrowind installed.

 

.ess stands for Elderscrolls Save

 

The * means that it doesn't matter what filename a gamesave in Morrowind has and combined that with the file extension .ess, is exactly what you need to type when searching for the gamesaves in Morrowind.

 

But remember the .ess file extension are also used for both Oblivion and Skyrim too, so be careful about what gamesave you delete.

 

The only difference there is between these three games is that only Morrowind has a separate Saves folder while the other TES games has not.
