I want to get rid of the save game file for my GTA IV because I've been hearing that when you have a police vehicle saved in the parking spot it can crash your game when you install a modded police vehicle to the police vehicle saved in your parking spot. The thing is I don't know how to get rid of this file so my game can fully restart and have nothing in my parking spot. If anyone could help it would be great! Thanks!!

Depends on the OS but I think on W7 its somewhere in the Documents and Settings. I'm not on my PC with GTA on it. I can check tomorrow but I"m sure someone will post the exact location by then. Or you could try this....

Okay I found it but now the question is how do I get rid of the save so I have to restart the game? Do I just delete it?

Yes, just delete it. You know you can also select "New Game" from the pause menu where you choose to load/save/exit the game

Just move the car out of the safe house parking lot and then save.  You can drive about 2-blocks before the game crashes.

Yea, it works.  I do it all the time by accident.  I take a crusier home and forget it's there, then change the model.

Okay so I drove the police vehicle away from my house then saved the game, but when I go to GAME>New to restart my game I CTD and get the GTA IV FATAL ERROR: Unrecoverable fault - Please restart the game.

That error is so broad. I advised you to either delete it or start a new game. Maybe Detroit can comment on that. I never put  any cars in my parking spots for this exact reason. You can take it home but dont park it in the spot, it takes 10 seconds to spawn that exact car with the trainer.

I've never had that issue once I have moved the car and save.  Remember to exit the game, then restart.  If you just load the new save without exiting the game, the game will crash because the car will still be where you parked it (i.e: has not despawned yet.).
