Steam / XCOM / cloud save game sync issue

XCOM: Enemy Unknown has a bug in, which in my case I believe was triggered by having too many save games. When trying to correct the problem through the UI failed (trying to delete old save games, a lot of the time it would just ignore me), I thought the solution would be simple - go into the save games folder and nuke the old save games. The problem is, when I do that, Steam 'helpfully' re-syncs my old save games back when I try to start the game.

For now I've worked around that issue by disabling my network connection before starting Steam, but that's a bit of a sucky workaround.

Any ideas?
 
If you open steam, go to your library list, you can right click on each game and select properties and disable cloud syncing for it under "updates"
 
Will that have any effect on the game being able to receive program updates?

- edit - going into the game's properties answered that question.

Thanks for your help 🙂
