    Can’t save more data for game or app


    My husband has been unable to play Skyrim. We even bought the game with the anniversary update but it still will not load. It says it can’t save more data. There is plenty of room on the hard drive as well as the 2TB external. I have uninstalled, restarted and re installed several times. I have done a reset of the console that kept the games. I have done a hard reset by unplugging the console. My profile pulls up just fine but his will not. This is the only game that is giving us this error. Please help.

    :)

    Can’t save more data for game or app

    Hi Helen,

    What console are you experiencing this issue with - Xbox One or Series X|S? Please specify the exact model.

    Are you an Xbox Insider and what OS version are you currently on? You can find this info in Settings > System > Console info.

    This error is generally related to insufficient storage or a corrupt game file. Do you receive the error with other accounts/profiles? Refer to ‘we can’t save additional info for...’ in this guide:

    Syncing Xbox game saves to the cloud error messages | Xbox Support

    I see you have a 2TB external storage drive, so there’s a possible workaround to this. If the game is on your internal storage, try to move it to the external (or vice versa) and see if there’s any difference after. Be sure to restart your console by disconnecting the power cable (from both the wall outlet and console itself) and wait at least 10-15 seconds to completely reset the power supply before relaunching the game.

    Don’t worry, you don’t necessarily need to completely uninstall and reinstall the game again. Moving (or copying) games is significantly faster than installing:

    If this persists, please report the problem so it can be looked into and properly addressed. You may add [Xbox Forums] to the title of the report, then share this here once complete.

    Hope this helps.

    The game loads perfectly on a friend’s console.

    I only deleted the files on our console. I was worried that if I deleted it everywhere all his progress would be lost. (He had just gotten to level 50 not too long ago).

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Helen

    Probably the game is telling you that it needs more cloud space data.

    Can you try deleting unused saved data in the cloud and test the game?

    In case you need to know how to delete cloud saves, check this article:

    "You can manage your data for individual games through My games & apps on your Home screen. Here's how:

    On Home, select My games & apps.

    Highlight the game, press the Menu  button on your controller, then select Manage game & add-ons.

    Select the Saved data box, then choose the item you want to delete."

    Article: https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/game-s...

    After that, restart your console and give it a new try

    Thanks, I saw that you tried resetting the console but keeping games and apps.
    As the issue is happening only with this console I think the next step will be do a factory reset deleting all the local content.

    Before that you can try performing an offline update for your console.
    For this you need a USB and PC to format it and transfer files provided in the link below (with steps):

    Can’t save more data for game or app

    That's really odd
    May I know if you tried deleting the saves for only that game specifically?
    I mean, repeat the previous steps but select this time "delete everywhere"

    Also, are you able to test the game in a different console to see if the issue persists?
