paying fg for help

windows 11 laptop. fresh install. i have nothing on it but 1 steam game. its been fine for a few days but one drive kept trying to do backups and shit so i thought i disabled everything. well somehow it is clashing with steam cloud and i lost 3 days of save progress in the game. i was able to actually find the old save file and i copy and pasted it over. clearly these 2 clouds are clashing with eachother. i dont need ANYTHING backed up on this pc at all. if the saved files are kept in steam thats pretty cool, but mainly save files on hard disk would be ideal. im fine either way with not using any cloud to be honest. i just dont want my shit constantly overwritting itself. thanks
