resident evil 6 steam save data location

When you finish your NG run or you have to reset, exit the game, delete the savedata from the account you're using to play your NG run and get the copy of the clean save from the other account. Copy the gamesave to another user account that you know it doesn't have any RE6 data on it (that account will keep the gamesave, don't use it to load that save so you keep it clean for your main account for NG runs). Right after finishing the tutorial, go to the main menu of RE6 to make sure the game is saved and exit the game. Create a new user account (or use one already created that it does not have RE6 files), start the game and do the mandatory tutorial. WARNING: Be sure to delete the local savedata before going back to Steam online mode, so you keep the NG+ file intact. Every time you finish a run or have to reset, go to said Steam folder and replace the savedata with the clean NG file you have as a backup. Exit the game and go to the same folder where you deleted the savedata before, then backup the new 'savedata' file. Do the forced tutorial and go to the main menu to make sure you have your new save file. Now if you start the game on Steam with the offline mode enabled you'll start the game from scratch. Now go to 'Program Files/Steam/userdata/(youraccountfolder)/221040/remote' and then delete the 'savedata' inside the folder.

Make sure you have Steam Cloud activated on RE6 to keep your normal file safe (the one you use for casual runs, NG+ runs, etc), then turn Steam into offline mode. To avoid this but still having a clean save to do a New Game run we need the gamesave that we get just after finishing the mandatory tutorial. The problem with NG is that you need to do the boring forced tutorial section with Leon/Helena every time you start the game without a save.
