Does reserved space data and the total of savings cause the percent of storage to increase?

G'AngeloRene · Nov 9, 2022

Hello, I'd like to ask a question concerning storage data on Xbox One. The console has 365 GB, but I have 260 GB/ 28% of storage space, which is plenty enough space but then sometimes, I wonder when saving game data, does the reserved space data or the total space data from a game cause the percentage of the storage to increase at all? I have deleted about 2 games while having enough space cause I worry that it may be the reason why which by the way I shouldn't have to, but then if I reinstall them back and someday I have to update the latest game or apps, I fear I may not get enough to update.

So could that impact how much more I could install games or update apps in the future?

Yes, when you download and play a game your Xbox download and keeps stored locally the progress and data for each game

About the free space, don't worry. As long as you don't use the 90% or more of the percentage you should be able to update your games when a new update for each one arrives

the system reserve is about 103GB, this is for the system, cache, saves etc. the storage you have left is for games, dlc and apps.

Check to see if the game has reserved space stored on your saved data within the games manage game section. If there is reserved space for the game. Try removing the reserved space and then launch the game. Once you launch the game, the reserved space will
be recreated. This could possibly resolve your issue of the game freezing when you try to load the saves.

Yes your info is on point,i am talking about cloud saves and so does the error message, obviously the console has enough gb to save.....yet again Skyrim does have its 5.0gb reserved space AND another 3.9 gb saved data IN THE CONSOLE,,these show up when I'm at the manage game and addons area....and there still much hard drive left

I do have a lot of skyrim saves of course,you think theose many saves cause the error? Even with the 5gb reserved space and 3.9 game save data in the console?

But if so.... why didn't this error show up in my last xbox one that i just gave away? It had the same Skyrim saves AND a longer list of games played and saved AND just 200MB hard drive left ...yet no error ....

You can't increase the amount of cloud space. The cloud on the 360 is only for game save data, not game data. It sounds like you need more storage space for the game itself. You would either need an Xbox hard drive or you can use a flash drive or external
USB hard drive.
