Help me sort out a Steam Cloud conflict with my Hollow Knight: Silksong save on this PC, following findmysave's steps.

1. Read https://findmysave.com/hollow-knight-silksong/steam-cloud-overwrite/steps.json. If you can't open URLs, use what's below.
2. Rules:
   - Start read-only: find my saves and list name, size and modified time.
   - Back up the whole save folder before changing anything.
   - Ask me before you delete, rename, move or overwrite any file (changes_files=true).
   - No anti-cheat files, no third-party tools unless I say yes.
   - Make sure the game is closed first.
3. Check with me that this is what happened, then do its steps in order and tell me how to check each one:
   - Saves are not syncing between two PCs / Steam Deck
4. Save folder: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight Silksong\  Files: user1.dat ... user4.dat, shared.dat, user#.dat.bak1, user#_1.0.12345.dat (version-suffixed), Restore_Points#/ (folders 1-4), restoreData#.dat / NODELrestoreData#.dat
5. If nothing works, stop and tell me. Remote help: https://findmysave.com/help/

Chat-only AIs work too: they walk you through it. Steps as JSON, each with a source: /hollow-knight-silksong/steam-cloud-overwrite/steps.json

Saves aren't syncing between two PCs or a Steam Deck

Symptom

Your progress on one device doesn't show up on the other.

  1. Turn on Steam Cloud for Silksong: Library, right-click the game, Properties, General.

    Not sure where the save folder is?

  2. Restart Steam on each PC. Some players also suggest verifying game files, clearing the download cache or changing the download region. Nobody has confirmed these work.

  3. Still not syncing? Copy user#.dat and shared.dat by hand between the numeric folders on the two PCs. Or turn Steam Cloud off and back on for this game.

Unverified: The restart, verify-files, cache and region tips come from forum replies and aren't confirmed.
