    Does "Reset this Xbox but keep games and apps" erase singleplayer saves?


    I looked everywhere online but can't find this simple answer. Can anyone help me?

    I factory reset my Xbox One but used "keep games and apps."

    What I want to know is did that also erase all my singleplayer progress in a few games?

    For example did that erase all my Slime Rancher progress or other saved singleplayer games? i.e. Darksouls, Thief, Campaigns in multiplayer games like Titanfall 2 or Call of Duty..etc

    EDIT: I want to point out that I can't test this myself because that Xbox is bricked and I can't access games on it anymore but I want to know if there is still useful data left on the hard drive.

    :)

    Does "Reset this Xbox but keep games and apps" erase singleplayer saves?

    As long as you are connected to xbox live then all of your saves are copied to the cloud as well as saved on your console.

    If you've done a reset the next time you start a game it will sync with the cloud & get your latest save.

    If your Console is connected to the Internet, Your Saves are Uploaded to the Cloud. All other Informations you finde here

    If you’re ready to reset your console to the factory default settings, follow these steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button
      to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.
    3. Select Reset console.

    1. On the Reset your console? screen, you'll see three options:
      • Reset and remove everything. This option resets the console to factory settings. All user data, including accounts, saved games, settings, home Xbox associations, and all games and apps will be deleted. You should use this option when selling
        or gifting the console to someone else. You should only use this option as a last resort in some troubleshooting cases.
      • Reset and keep my games & apps. You should use this option as your primary choice when troubleshooting. It will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps. This will save you from downloading
        or reinstalling the large game files. In some cases, if a corrupt game file is causing the issue you're troubleshooting, you may have to choose
        Reset and remove everything, but you should always start with
        Reset and keep my games & apps
        and save Reset and remove everything as a last resort.
      • Cancel. To back out of this screen, simply select the
        Cancel
        button. No action has been taken at this point. This is a safe exit from this screen.

    Where are saved games stored on the Xbox Harddrive?

    Thanks that's not listed as an option. (Keep games and apps) has a disclaimer (Erase all accounts, saved games, settings, and home xbox associations, but keep installed games & apps).
