Microsoft Store and Steam versions use a different save file format which are incompatible with each other.
Save folder includes crash logs in the logs subfolder which can add up to several gigabytes (a normal save folder shouldn't be larger than a couple megabytes). These logs are nonessential and can be deleted.
Cloud saves take priority over local saves. Disable cloud saving if attempting to restore game state from a local backup.
