When on the main menu screen, select the option to start a new game.
It will not overwrite your current game and character.
You cannot name your new character with an existing firstname.
To delete a character, just delete all the saves inside of it.

I did this and my other Character was gone. I had backed up my save folder, is only way I still had the first character.
first one was named Kimberly Ryder, second one was named Kim Ryder, only one left was the second one.
Also there was only the save folder, there was no other folders as was done in Origin's, and earlier Bioware games. It was like DAI just the one folder, and all the saves were mixed up, no Order to them at all.

Are you sure? On top of the screen in the load menu you should see two arrows to change characters. If it doesn't work it's a bug, I have two characters and can access them both separately.
Yeppers !
I checked, and re checked, and character was wiped out, Only managed to save because I had foresight to save the save game folder.
Community AdminI can confirm that I have 2 characters that I have at various stages of the game and I can swap between them without issue.
The save system should be basically the same as DAI's, there's a big save folder with some unintuitively named files. Inside the game itself you should be able to swap between characters, then their individual saves. Do you use any cloud saves/play from 2 locations? If so perhaps your cloud saves overwrote for your new character overwrote your local ones.
If you make a new character and save now do you see the arrows in the images below?
I just grabbed these images from the load screen.
Thank you.
I will back up my save folder, and give it another try, I have been afraid to, after losing that one, or rather I just started playing the game, and decided not to test it, again at this time.
