When deleting savegames ingame it does not delete the entire folder of that deleted safegame. This results in many empty subfolders in SaveGames.  
In one case it even left 2 temp files in the folder.

I had that and the only work round i could find for me was to play the saves briefly i wanted to keep , then look at the dates of the folders and delete any that didn’t have the latest date attached to them

Same here, I always delete in-game the save files I don’t use anymore, I checked my save folder and some folders from old saves are still there.
