How to erase saved games for Sims3
My C drive is getting low on space and I have a ton of different saved games that I don't play anymore. Where are they stored to delete them??

You can also delete them from within the game.
To be exact, the saves can be found here: documents\electronicarts\thesims3\saves
Each savegame has a folder in there. You could also move the folders you don't play anymore to an external drive so you can recover them later.
To save disc space, it's also a good idea to clean out your DCBackup folder. The only file you need in there is the ccmerged,package. Make sure to keep that, delete the rest. They serve no purpose.
You can also move the files in the downloads folder to an external drive since once you installed them, the only purpose of those is to have them safe somewhere. You can put them back, should you need to reinstall your stuff.
Here's a thread that explains the user files in more details: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/faq-user-files.html
dizzylilguy Saves are stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves.
