Error 0x080830003 has spread to more games despite still having plenty of space.

Error 0x080830003 is the error that claims I have no storage left on my Xbox, despite having 65.1 GB left on the internal, 129.9GB left on my first hard drive and 138.2 left on the second hard drive.

This issue has persisted for months for me in Minecraft. It was very annoying but I could at least save my worlds and continue to play the game. But now it has spread to more games and is far worse. Every time I get a checkpoint in Halo this error appears (so like 30 times in a single level) and I can't even play Space engineers as it won't save my progress anymore. (This started happening last week)

Previously I had tried something that supposedly fixed the error for Minecraft back when it was the only game affected, it told me to delete the reserved space for the game but when I did that it corrupted all but two of my worlds and now I'm terrified to try anything else as I don't want to lose my two best worlds.

As said before I have plenty of storage space and have tried clearing more to no avail.

(I'm on series X)

Another supposed fix was to restart the Xbox and unplug all external storage devices and wait a while before turning back on but that didn't work.

The only one I haven't tried is a complete reset of the Xbox while selecting keep my games and apps, Which I am terrified to do for the sake of my Minecraft worlds after my last attempt to fix it as that has made me very paranoid so I'd rather not.

Tried loading my Minecraft worlds on my brother's Xbox and he got an error before the world could even load.

I could put up with Minecraft saying this as it really didn't stop me from playing the game but now that has spread to others in a more severe way it's making some of my games completely unplayable and I don't know what to do other than just don't play on my Xbox.

I also don't think this error has been properly addressed, as from trying to find the solution I found a post about it from 2019 with someone on an Xbox one experiencing the same issue.

I have had my series X for 3 years before this error started and it just appears out of nowhere a few months ago.

Ok I'm very confused I tried Halo again as well as space engineers and now the error is back to only affecting Minecraft again.

I have a 250 gig and it is more than enough for me. I installed all of my games and still have plenty of space. IMHO 320 gigs is overkill.

Not to defend Activision but CoD is not the only game that has been over run with modders like this. GTA and even RDR tends to have plenty of them as well. Bottom line: the older the game, the more likely it is that the game will have modders.

Publishers and Devs only have so many resources to spread to older titles.

This is the problem my cloud has plenty of space too which makes it more frustrating
