Cancelled Game Download: Xbox Series X storage computing wrong size even after game...

Thank you for your reply, however nothing has changed.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello ErraticLion8696, to delete the Xbox cache follow the procedure below.

1. Go to xbox press and hold the XBOX power button on your console for 10 seconds until it turns off

2. Wait 10 seconds for it to turn off

3. Wait 1 minute with it off

4. Turn it back on

Ideally, you should also remove any game that is in quick resume.

If after this procedure the files have not completely deleted, you can try to do a reset by keeping games and Apps on the console first.

Press the Xbox button to open the panel.

Select system > system > console > system

Select Reset console.

Restore and maintain my games and apps.

Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

Note - You need to know the email and passwords of your accounts when performing this reset.

Hello again, if the reset keeping games and Apps didn't work, try performing the reset that erases everything and the console will look like it came from the factory.

You can still use external HDD for your Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One games but you can't play Series X/S games from them,

Series X/S games can only be played from the internal or external storage card,

with game file size's getting bigger, that 1Tb internal NVMe SSD is going fill up quick.

You didn't read the back of the box did you?.You can use the game drive for storage and move it back and forth to play

This is with all digital only consoles

Also should be mentioned that the xbox series s only download the s version of the game which is smaller then the one x.or series x games

Also you can buy the storage card you do know that right ?

I haven't even filled up ny 1tb storage with series x games and I got a lot of games

I have the storage card as backup

You do know that non optimized games or patched games can be on the game drive right?.

You look at the library and it will tell you which is which

Game drives ARE never going to be even close to being fast enough that's why the series s and smart delivery adjust to your storage capacity

You knew this when you bought it that storage will be an issue

But it's not the same with the series x as the series x has texture packs

Fyi the game drive is physically limited to 500mbps due to the limitations of usb

Series s and x games run at 4.8gbps
