Deleting Profile on Xbox 360

coolguy1587 · Jan 19, 2014

Im looking to trade my 360 in and i want to delete my profile off it before i trade it in.

I heard they're is two options when you choose to delete your profile off a console..

Option 1: "Delete Profile Only (This deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements.)

Option 2: "Delete Profile and Items (To delete the profile and the associated saved games and achievements)"

Im just wondering that if i choose option 2, to delete my profile AND the items. Does this delete everything associated with my profile on JUST this console? Or on EVERYTHING? like xbox one, etc? Because ive got my profile setup on my Xbox one but im worried
that if i delete my profile and choose option 2 on my 360 that it will delete everything off my profile like achievements and everything and then when i go back to my profile on xbox one everything will be gone, achievements etc.

I.e. will I still have all of my achievements etc on my profile on my Xbox One, if i choose option 2

Can someone explain this to me please

Selling xbox one question

Put it this way if Jambo ever decided to get another xbox ONE and re-download the other ONE would lose access immediately after transferring licenses.

It works the same as the 360 licenses!

on the 360 he can delete his profile but keep the items or delete profile and items.
i'm not sure if the ONE gives you this option yet as i've not tried

No. deleting a profile will only delete it from that specific console. It will stay on the xbox one console. FYI you really delete it from Xbox live.

If you choose option 2, it will just delete everything related to that profile on that console. Things like gamerscore are saved on Xbox's servers so once you redownload your gamertag on a new console, you will still have your achievements.

Hi there,

if it is an xbox live account (so not an offline profile) have you tried deleting your profile and then redownloading it?

Delete a profile (Be sure to select Delete profile only)

If you are referring to the 4-digit passcode that you can set for sign-in, you will have to delete your account then redownload it.

1.Delete profile. Make sure to select "Delete Profile Only" for the last step.

2. Download Profile.

Hi there,

something on the profile on the xbox 360 seems to have corrupted. Since all is shown correctly on xbox.com the thing to do is to delete your profile (profile only) on the xbox 360 and redownload it.

If you only delete the profile, that won't affect any save games etc.

See this link on how to delete (Profile Only) and how to redownload a profile:

support.xbox.com/.../profile-move-delete

Let us know the results

When deleting a profile on Xbox 360 you are given the option to delete only the profile or also delete the items, if you choose to delete only the profile, this option deletes the Xbox profile, but keeps the achievements and saved games and DLCs.
