This action can be done safely if you back up your saves before proceeding. Uninstalling and reinstalling should not cause data loss if you have a recent backup.

You can protect your saved files by duplicating them in "Documents/My Games/falloutnv/saves"

I checked steamapps since many save files are stored there.

With steam cloud activated, you can remove the game securely without saving any data. I found this out by mistake. I cleaned up my storage drive without keeping a backup, reinstalled New Vegas, and suddenly it was back!

That's interesting, unfortunately my internet and cloud services often cause issues.

It's frustrating, but it's always good to keep a copy of the file. You're definitely in a better position than being caught off guard.

Absolutely, it's great you're focusing on regular backups for all your data.
