    Deleting cloud saves but keep local copy for sync issues


    Each time I start Fallout 4 the Xbox goes to sync cloud saves and takes hours to do so. I would like to delete those saves so the console does not sync to them. Then once the cloud is clear I would like to upload my local storage so that there are only
    three save points, which would only take seconds to sync if it needs to. What's the best approach?

    :)

    Yeah. Should be on cloud if just the console save. When you delete via Xbox get option to delete local or delete everywhere. As long as deleted local should sync back next time

    I hate having to ask a n00b question, but...

    What are you trying to accomplish? If you're trying to start a game over, just delete the local save data, then when you start a game it will start to sync the cloud data. Just press the button to cancel this sync and you should be able to start a game fresh. Then when you play the game next time, it may say something like your save data is out of sync. Would you like to use the cloud or local save. Select to use your new local save, then it will start syncing that one to the cloud from then on.

    Alternatively, you can just create a new Xbox Live account and play the game on that.

    Deleting cloud saves but keep local copy for sync issues

    Go to the games hub and highlight Fallout 4, push the button with three lines, manage game, go to saves, delete saves from everywhere else (warning in no way you should select delete saves from this console). That would be the best approach to your issue
    in my opinion.

    Xbox cloud saves

    The issue is when I click Delete All, it only has an option under internal. When I confirm the delete it only deletes the local copy and not the cloud saved game. When I restart the game it sync's and reloads the
    saved game still.

    Starfield running out of save game space as game save gets larger and soon won't allow saving further.

    How do you play Starfield on a PC OFFLINE?

    I only get the offline option when the cloud sync fails at startup.

    At level 150+ my appdata folder has 694 saves, yet the UI only show the few I keep (about 6) - and manually deleting the appdata saves and keeping the last few days saves causes sync issues: with the message my cloud saves are newer than my local saves; which they aren't. There is some sort of sync bug where timestamps aren't being kept clean in the cloud. Probable something simply like my MST PC files copied to a EST server thus the timezone difference flags the cloud files as newer.

    Xbox cloud saves

    Thanks for the link...that same article is the one I found from earlier. The issue is when I click Delete All, it only has an option under internal. When I confirm the delete it only deletes the local copy and not the cloud saved game. When I restart
    the game it sync's and reloads the saved game still.

    Xbox beta metro exodus save file location

    Solved the problem by deleting manually the local saves (after safety copy of course).

    They can be found in User\AppData\Local\Packages\DeepSIlver...\SystemAppData\wgs

    The game syncs saves from cloud after starting, takes a minute with black screen, then worked fine.
