Possible Bug: Deleting custom factions/Sovs

from Elemental Forums

So I whipped up some test factions/Sovs to just get a quick feel of the new LH...

Tried to delete them from the my docs folder under races and units...  and the moment i restart the game the files are regenerated, and thus still in game not gone like i wanted them to be.  right clicked the sov deleted it (nope its just hidden the file is still there and even deleting the hidden file regenerates it) and as far as i can tell there is no way to delete the factions in game.

either way why are the files being regenerated after being manually deleted from their respective folders... am i missing something?

Not exactly a bug.

I had the same experience as I was integrating my FE stuff for LH. The problem comes from the Steam Cloud synching which recreates deleted files and probably overwrites some modifications to existing ones to boot whenever you shut the game down. It's a pain and I personally disabled it.

Disable steam cloud in preferences. Right click on game name in steam and select properties/updates then uncheck 'enable steam cloud synchronization ...'.
