Help me sort out a Steam Cloud conflict with my Stardew Valley save on this PC, following findmysave's steps.

1. Read https://findmysave.com/stardew-valley/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:
   - Farm loads but the latest days/progress are gone (rolled back)
4. Save folder: %APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves\  Files: <FarmName>_<ID> folder (e.g. JonSnow_123456789), <FarmName>_<ID> (no extension, XML), SaveGameInfo, <FarmName>_<ID>_old and SaveGameInfo_old, *_STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP, save-backups folder (inside the game folder; created by SMAPI's bundled SaveBackup)
