[quote]I messed up a while back by connecting my current xbox characters to my old steam account, and before I knew I did it, I had the old account deleted. Now my old account is linked to my xbox account and I can't authenticate the old steam account to deactivate cross save. Is there any idea on how I can deactivate cross save at all?[/quote] Nope not possible you are going to have to work with steam to recover that old account.
