So I was playing Skyrim for the past 2 days and leveled up quite a bit (level 25) but when I tried playing Skyrim this morning, all my saves were gone! Everything including quick saves. The latest save I could load was a character at level 13. I tried looking for the other saves in my Saves folder but they weren't there. Can someone help me? I won't be starting over from level 13 again....Also, I tried to uninstall and install the game again and I checked the cache too. I was thinking that maybe the saves are on the Steam cloud? Does anyone know how to access them to see if they are there? Thanks

Go into file explorer, go to the drive that Skyrim is saved on, and search for *.ess. .ess is the save file type for skyrim, and that should find ones in the wrong places as well.
