enei7eb5nb9w TS3W has to be there if you've launched the game, unless your antivirus is blocking it. Check your AV for any Sims 3-related actions, and restore the .exe if necessary. You can restore it by repairing the game in Steam as well (Sims 3 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of the game files), but if your AV is blocking the .exe, this will happen again.
When you say you can't delete your saves, do you mean you get an error, or you delete them but they come back, or what? Saves are stored in the same location in all types of Sims 3 installs, so it's no surprise you'd see them again.
If you've located the saves but can't get rid of them, right-click one and select Properties > General, then list the Location. This could be OneDrive-related or another antivirus problem. Either one could also explain why you had to keep creating new saves.
I tried looking in my AV but I cant find anything related to Sims, Im probably looking wrong. The saves just dont delete when I try to, and Ive tried looking in my files and I also cant find which one shows my saves. I am not tech savy. I think I have ALOT of extra documents in that folder that shouldnt be there.
