Solution to the Auto-save Glitch in Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands [SPOILERS]
Hey guys
Destructiod found a solution to the problem with glitch. If you get it. Then delete your save. The game will load up a back up save file and you can undo that problem area. I hope this type of solution helps for all the PoP Community who unfortunately had to encounter the glitch in the game.

[Note: My experience with The Forgotten Sands was almost entirely free of noticeable bugs or glitches, with one exception that I'd be remiss in ignoring. The title features an auto-save system with one game save per profile; there's no way to manually save your progress. Late in the game, I had missed a jump and fallen to my death... at which point the game decided to auto-save. When the game re-loaded, I found myself caught in an earlier area, and the game wouldn't trigger doors I would need to progress. I was trapped.
Unfortunately, this happened late in the game and I had feared all of my progress was lost. Not quite the case -- I discovered that The Forgotten Sands makes a "back up auto-save" that can only be accessed if your primary save is corrupt or deleted. Once deleted, the game successfully loaded the back-up, which only found me losing a few hours of progress.
I mention this to fully disclose my experience, but note that I feel it was an isolated incident that I couldn't repeat had I tried.]
EDIT (Ubi-Milky)
If playing through Uplay or Steam, the default save file can be found in this folder -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\
