  1. Deleting Achievement from your profile (closed games first)


    Good morning to you all. I know that this has been requested for years and will continue to be requested for a long time, but I hope that sooner or later the request can be granted. I’ve been playing with the same profile for 17 years now and I honestly believe that since it’s such a long time and will continue in the future, not having the ability to delete games from your profile is an absurd thing. I know perfectly that unlocking goals is a personal passion and that for someone it’s a useless thing, but giving people the chance to delete games from their childhood or even worse games that are impossible to complete is an option to add. I’m proud of my profile but knowing that some games like Gears Pop, Bomberman Online or Batman will never be completed cause the servers are closed, makes me uncomfortable, with those games that will stay there forever without me being able to do anything. Since achievements are ultimately a personal goal I think it’s right to give people control over what to show and what not, given that we’re talking about something that binds for years and years. Don’t tell me create a second profile, it’s a matter of affection and time spent in thousands of hours on something that I will carry on for years. I believe that in 2025 deleting something related to a database like your profile is feasible. Just erase the whole game, not one achievement at a time which would create problems. Perhaps to avoid problems once deleted that game appears a message that says you can no longer unlock achievements on that tag for that game deleted (I’m giving an example if someone said that it would create confusion in going to re-lock deleted targets). In short, I think this possibility would be appreciated by many people, because being a piece of their past, present and future, deserves to be "fixed". Thank you for your attention.

    :)

    i'm afraid there's not a magic wand.

    No one at Support can delete achievements, no one ever has deleted achievements.

    You're thinking about hiding them by pressing X on a game with zero points, who are the fact that your gamer score can be zeroed out for cheating and you can no longer re-earn those achievements. even that doesn't delete them from your profile, merely changes your gamer score to zero for the same reason

    Trust me when I say this I know what you're talking about, it just simply can't safely be done, and no magical new technology will change that. If you corrupt the database, you have to restore from back up which will take days or weeks

    No they can't just pop the achievements by pushing a button.

    i'm sorry deleting achievements is not in likely will never be possible. You do not want to delete things from databases which is why you can only hide things that you have zero points in

    in a nutshell, this can literally cause catastrophic errors that can corrupt everything, this is one of the reasons why changing your gamer tag cost money, and why it can take up to a week to propagate because it is a low priority task that is done very carefully. you make the fewest changes possible as carefully as possible

    this is the reason why game developers don't remove things from games, they wall them off. You never know when pulling a pin out on one side of the building can cause the other side to collapse

    I can understand, but not completely. With current technology I think there is a way to make this practice safe. Maybe by limiting the use of the function to a number of uses for each profile or even better by making the option paid to be controlled like the name change, so that it is used only by those who really care. Also I read in some forums that the XBOX staff can delete achievements in some rare cases if I'm not mistaken. Let's say it's sad that it's something that doesn't seem to be able to be done even in the future, I will always hope.

    Profiles

    You can delete profiles that you no longer use from your console. Here’s how:

    Go to Settings, and then select System.

    Select Storage.

    Select All Devices.

    Select Gamer Profiles.

    Select the gamertag that you want to delete.

    Select Delete.

    Select one of the following:

    Select Delete Profile Only. This deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements.

    Select Delete Profile and Items to delete the profile and the associated saved games and achievements.
