- Go into the folder named ‘Application Support’ then ‘Sports Interactive’

Please bear in mind, these are not your save games or the same folder which contains these, this folder is completely unrelated. Upon deleting these folders, they will be regenerated when you launch the game. The next time you launch the game remember to change any preferences you wish to have changed (such as autosaves, sound level or game display mode).
