I think "saves" don't get packed in distribution package. You can check it by reviewing the package contents.

For unpacking .rpa archives there's UnRPA and maybe some other tools.
https://github.com/Lattyware/unrpa

Directives to control building distributions are usually in file "options.rpy".
https://renpy.org/doc/html/build.html
In particular, you can add or remove files for distribution using "build.classify()".

Therefore deleting old saves isn't necessary when building distributions.

But if you want to delete old saves, one folder to remove is "game/saves", and another folder (like a backup copy) is explained here
https://renpy.org/doc/html/config.html# ... _directory

and the absolute path can be read here:
config.savedir

https://renpy.org/doc/html/config.html# ... ig.savedir
If the problem is solved, please edit the original post and add [SOLVED] to the title. 8)
