Why there is no option (a button) in Origin platform settings, which let you "Delete previous Cloud Saves" , currently, the only existing control you can do to the cloud saves is that button called "Restore your last local save files", but it sucks, because it's not the true local save file, it actually is also a cloud save file, just a previous version one, among your cloud saved files. Why EA not adding this convenient one button to delete or refresh your cloud data, but asking players to learn those tedious workaroud ? I realized that many cloud service's logic of syncing data is , if your client side has any data changing, then the cloud side will only update the changing part, not by changing or uploading the entire new local file. Now, with cloud syncing service easily occurs inconsistent sync, then I think a function or button that allow update/refresh your cloud data not by usual patial change, but by deleting entire old cloud data, and not partially, but re-uploading entire new local file, is important. Also, provide several more previous editions of your cloud save filed is important, too, so that you will have more options to choose which version of the data to recover/retrieve from, and possibly one of those versions would function well.
Also, player's scoreboard statistic data shouldn't ever be deleted, it should be recorded in other servers side, but not store in this kind of cloud save data which should only store and affect your game settings or configurations. ( Yes, the stastic data also somewhat need to generate or store on your local and cloud side , for example, your level of rank or data of unlocked items, but it shouldn't be missing even if you delete both your local and cloud data, because I guess there should be another sever dedicated to record and store your statistic data. These important statistic data should only be reset or deleted by either an account ban/delete, or you specifically send a request/command to order the server delete your statistic data, if you want to re-play the game from scratch.)
