Could it be permission problems? Have you tried running them in as administrator? I'm unsure how that works with Steam though...

But are you saying it actually creates the files as the game is running, but then deletes them when you close it?

It creates the files and then in about 2 or 3 hours it will delete all of the files.

Hm, well then I don't think it is the game, but rather some other program doing so. Do you have anything that could cause this? Any sort of cleanup softwares? I'm guessing it's not your antivirus since you said you disabled it. Just make sure you actually did, cause many still insist on running in the background.

No I don't have any clean up software unless you count avg as one but i have even tried to uninstall avg for a while to see if it was causing it to delete the files but they were still deleting and i have checked everything on my pc and I don't think anything would do that. I have re downloaded Avg again because I don't think that's the problem but it may be the problem.

I've heard of some cleanup software unintentionally cleaning some files that normally shouldn't even be touched. But yeah, I'd say that AVG is old shit now, switch to something that's a lot better. It could fix a ton of things better. Or it could be a virus. Are you sure that it's just the Amnesia and Terraria saves, or are other stuff (that you may not notice right off the bat) disappearing as well?
