   • It’s usually in this path: C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Need For Speed(TM) Unbound\SaveGame\
2. Create a new folder in a different location;
3. Copy every file in your Game Folder to the new folder;
4. Delete the contents of the original folder from the NFS Unbound folder;
   • Do not delete the whole folder
5. Launch the game;
6. Create a newly-saved game file;
7. Quit the game;
8. Move the contents of the new folder back to the original folder;
9. Return to “SaveGame” and replace the new save file with the old one, whose name is “1.”
