Having trouble with a corrupted checkpoint save and need help, please.

I recently discovered that I have a corrupted 'checkpoint save' file. If my three checkpoint saves fill up, I'm unable to manually save until I delete them. However, after deleting them the broken one reappears in the list. It can be saved over again, but the process repeats and despite my efforts to delete it, it remains.

Now to the real question. Every time I boot the game, I get this message. I believe the console save on the left may be before the corrupted save was made, but I'm afraid to load it in because it may delete all saves made after that date and time. The issue as it is, although a bit of a pain, is tolerable but I'd like to fix it before something makes it worse.

Does anyone know definitively if it's safe to load the save data from before? If someone knows of a better sub that's more suited for this question, can they direct me there? Thanks for any help.
