Anyone know how to fix error 0x80830003? (Your Xbox is out of space for saved data)

Hi JuliusCeaser25,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I understand that you're having trouble with your Starfield save files. I understand how frustrating it can be to lose progress in a game, especially after investing so much time into it. Let's see what we can do to help you recover your save files.



Just to confirm; after deleting saved data and restarting your console, you are now able to fix the error "We can't save more data for this game or app" and you are able to play Starfield. However, the files for your progress on the game was deleted as well and so, you are now prompted to start a new game, correct?

There are a few possible causes for this issue. One is that your Xbox storage is full and cannot save any more data. Another is that your save files are corrupted or incompatible with the latest version of the game. A third is that there is a problem with your Xbox Live account or cloud sync.



To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:

1. Check your Xbox storage and make sure you have enough space for the game and its save files. You can do this by going to Settings > System > Storage. If you need to free up some space, you can delete some games or apps that you don't use, or move them to an external hard drive.

2. Check your save files and make sure they are not corrupted or incompatible. You can do this by going to My games & apps > Starfield > Menu button > Manage game and add-ons > Saved data. If you see any files with a yellow exclamation mark or a red X, that means they are corrupted or incompatible and need to be deleted. You can also try to delete the reserved space file, which is used for updates and patches.

3. Check your Xbox Live account and cloud sync settings. You can do this by going to Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & passkey. Make sure you are signed in with the correct account and that your password is up to date. You can also go to Settings > System > Backup & transfer > Sync my settings and make sure that cloud sync is enabled.



If none of these steps work, I'm afraid there is no way to recover your old save files from Starfield. They may have been overwritten or deleted permanently. However, you can still start a new game and enjoy the game's features and content.

Hey logan, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Fallout 4 game saves! I can understand how annoying this can be.

The error code 0x80830003 typically points to syncing issues with your Xbox profile or game data. To address this, begin by disconnecting from the internet, then clear the local save data for Fallout 4 on your Xbox One.

This will make sure that your cloud saves remain intact. Once the local data is cleared, reconnect to the internet and give your console time to sync with your cloud saves. This should help resolve the issue if it's related to syncing.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi MangoMeistro,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Xbox. I understand that you are receiving error 0x80830003 whenever you sync your console.

This error code is not related to your local storage but on your "cloud saves" storage. If you are playing Bethesda games or other games with large save files, there is a high chance that you already reached the limit of your cloud storage.

To fix this issue, you will have to permanently delete some of your saved files from the cloud to free up space. You may choose some of those games that you already finished or you're no longer playing. To do this, follow these steps:

Note: this will delete your local and cloud saved data from the game that you will choose, it can no longer be retrieved once deleted.

On Home, select My games and apps.

Highlight the game, press the Menu button​ ​​on your controller, and then select Manage game.

In the menu on the left of the screen, scroll down to Saved Data, then highlight the saved data for your gamertag on the right and press the A button on your controller.

You'll be prompted to confirm the deletion of this game save data

Select "Delete Everywhere"

Hi!

It seems to be due to a sync problem with cloud. Try clearing the console cache with the

power cycle system, then delete your profile from the console and re-create it. Check that the console is not set to "Offline" and start the game. It should sync everything normally.
