Corrupted game save or not? Xbox 360

Sure, not a problem.

Yes if the save data is indeed corrupt, which it sounds like is the case, by deleting the data your campaign progress will be deleted.

However, the unlocks for online multiplayer that you got from completing the campaign will still be there.

Here is how to delete corrupted save data from the xbox console.

To determine if the saved game is corrupted, follow these steps:
Select Settings > System > Storage.
Select the storage location, and then press the A  button.
Select Games and Apps, and then press the A  button.
Select the game, and then press the A  button.
Select the saved game, and then press the A  button.
Note A corrupted saved game file is marked with a yellow exclamation point.
If the saved game file is corrupted, delete the corrupted file. To do this, select Delete.

Hello roshangill570,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

We understand that you are experiencing an issue where several of your Xbox 360 game saves are showing as corrupted, but they do not have the yellow exclamation mark that typically indicates a corrupted file. However, it's good to know that not all corrupted game saves will show the yellow exclamation mark under the Xbox storage settings. No worries, we will check on this together.



To determine if your game saves are indeed corrupted, you can try the following steps:



1. Move the game saves to a USB drive or cloud storage. This will allow you to access the game saves on another Xbox 360 console or even on an Xbox One console.



2. Try to load the game saves on another console. If the game saves load without any issues, then it's likely that the issue is with your console's hard drive.



3. If the game saves still show as corrupted on another console, then it's likely that the game saves are indeed corrupted. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a corrupted game save. You will need to delete the corrupted game save and start a new game.

4. Clear the system cache: Go to Settings > system > storage > highlight storage device > press Y on your controller > select clear system cache.

5. Try loading an earlier save. If you have an earlier save of the game that is not showing as corrupted, try loading that save and see if it resolves the issue.



It's also important to note that regularly backing up your game saves can help prevent the loss of progress in case of a corrupted game save. You can use cloud storage or a USB drive to back up your game saves.



I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Hello M0NOXiDE,

Thank you for keeping us updated. We recommend clearing the local Xbox 360 storage in the system settings. This will allow your console to attempt to grab the saved data from the cloud again. We will provide steps on how to clear the local Xbox 360
storage on your Xbox One. If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend going to your

Xbox 360 storage settings to check for any corrupt files on the saved data for your game. You will know if it is corrupt based on the data having an exclamation point next it. If the saved data is corrupted, then it may not be able to be recovered. If the
saved data shows no signs up corruption, we suggest attempting to
upload the saved data to the cloud one more time. Be sure to let us know the results!

How to clear local Xbox 360 storage:

1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to pull up the guide
2. Select Settings
3. Select System
4. Select Storage
5. Select Clear local Xbox 360 storage

hi there sorry to hear that your game save got corrupted did you recover your account on a different Xbox 360 console and saved the game on that? if you did you won't be able to play the game save on your Xbox the best option is to create a new game save
on your console.
