    0x80830003 error, when attempting to sync data


    Today, I turned on my xbox to find that it no longer recognized my external SSD as plugged into it. I tried everything recommended online and the SSD still isn't recognized. It is an official xbox seagate SSD and the seagate program on my windows computer does not even recognize the SSD. After downloading all of my games onto the internal xbox storage, I ran into the error with syncing the data, "there is not enough reserved space" or something like that. I then followed all of the steps I could find online. Restart the xbox, unplug the xbox, unistall the games, factory reset the xbox (which I have now done twice). Some of the games worked after reseting the xbox but others did not. I am wondering if the faulty SSD is causing this issue even though it is unplugged from the xbox. I read that this error commonly occurs when external drives are plugged into the xbox. However, mine has been unplugged during this entire process. Please, any help is appreciated, otherwise I may use my warranty. This is an xbox series X.

    :)

    Fallout 4 still wont save my data after a factory reset and reinstall of the game

    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.

    Hey Diego

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread.

    If you experienced any "Syncing data" menu when loading up your game, it is possible that the data could have been overwritten or not synced correctly.

    At this point it is possible that you could attempt to recover your save data, by forcing your game to re-sync your save data by

    removing and re-adding your account
    back onto you console.

    However, if you received any error messages when syncing your data, you could take a look at the article that covers

    Syncing cloud error messages
    .

    Keep in mind that if you are unable to recover your world using either of these methods, it is likely that you will be unable to recover your world.

    I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are experiencing difficulties with being able to recover your save data.

    Are you receiving any error messages when you were attempting to sync your save data?

    Did you recently relocate your console to an area where you are unable to connect to Xbox Live?

    Are you sure your signed into the same account that had all this save data?

    If you haven't already, I would recommend taking a look at the article that covers

    Recovering save data.

    Hey Buckst3r

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with recovering some of your save data.

    When you have no save data on your console, this would indicate that you uninstalled the game at some point in time, was playing this on another console or offline, or removed your account. Performing any of these actions would remove your save data from
    your console, or force you to sync your data in order to continue.

    This process is all done automatically and does not require any input on your end. You can read more on this on the

    Xbox One cloud game saves: FAQ
    .

    I would have you verify that you ar enot experincing any issues with connecting to Xbox Live [the internet] as this can also cause problems with syncing save data.

    Do you receive any error code when attempting to sync your data? If you are, I would encourage that you take a look at the article that covers

    errors messages when syncing your save data
    .

    Give this a try and let us know if this works for you!
