- Navigate to Settings.
- Select Application Saved Data Management.
- Choose Saved Data in System Storage.
- Select Devil May Cry 5.
- Press the Options button on your controller.

- Select the save files you wish to delete and confirm your selection.
On Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S:
- Go to the Xbox home screen.
- Navigate to My games & apps.
- Highlight Devil May Cry 5.
- Press the Menu button (the button with three horizontal lines) on your controller.
- Select Manage game & add-ons.
- Select Saved data.
- Choose the save file(s) you want to delete.
- Select Delete and confirm your choice (you'll likely have the option to delete from console only or everywhere).
PC (Steam)
- Disable Steam Cloud synchronization for Devil May Cry 5 (Right-click the game in your library > Properties > Updates > uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Devil May Cry 5").
- Navigate to the save data location. This is typically in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Your Steam User ID>\601150\remote\win64_save\
- Delete all the files within the win64_save folder (usually files with the .bin extension).
- Launch the game. A new save file will be created.
- If you want to re-enable Steam Cloud, you can do so after starting a new game. Steam will likely ask you whether to upload your local save or download the cloud save. Choose to upload your local new save.
Using a Different Profile/Account
On consoles, you can create a new user profile. Game saves are usually tied to the user profile, so playing on a new profile will give you a completely fresh game.
Similarly, on PC (if you're using Steam Family Sharing or have another Steam account), you can play the game on a different account to have separate save data.
