Is there a way to delete my previous save file in Pokemon Black without deleting my current progress? 0 votes 95,165 views

So the other day I decided to replay Pokemon Black. I deleted my old save file to start a new one... or so I thought. I’ve made significant progress and tried to save, but I got a message saying my previous file had not been deleted yet, and in order to do so I would have to return to the title screen to delete it. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can delete my old save file without having to completely start over from where I am now.

If what I said is unclear, I can explain more in depth if you are confused. Thanks so much in advance!

You cannot save your progress, you need to restart :( . This is because, before you wan't to start a new game, you need to delete your save file. To do this you need to press up + select + B at the same time at the Title screen. Unfortunately, as I said, you cannot save your current progress because you had to do this before restarting.

Sorry about your progress, it happened to me too when I first got SoulSilver, but it sounds like you got farther than I did. Bummer, man :(
