How to delete cloud game save xbox 360 on xbox one permanently?

Mr. Beep

"5. Select Storage, and then select Clear local Xbox 360 storage. After this, your Xbox One console will restart."

I don't use the cloud, so this will permanently delete all game saves/profiles for anyone who doesn't

Hey there Fisk84,

Happy to take a look at this with you, for starters have you successfully moved your save data from the Xbox 360 into the cloud to download on the Xbox One? Also are you using the same profile on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One? Here is a guide that will show
you how to move the save data from the Xbox 360 into the cloud.

Make sure the save data is in the cloud and let us know how that goes!

Hi Brandon,

What Xbox console are you referring to - Xbox 360, Xbox One or Series X|S? Please specify the exact model.

Either way, whether the game saves are recoverable would depend on if you deleted them from the cloud or just the console (so the hard drive) itself.

If you cleared the saves from the cloud, this is permanent and there would be no way to recover them. If you only cleared the saves from the console (this can actually sometimes resolve various issues), however, then any saved progress should simply resync once you relaunch the respective games as long as you have an internet connection to Xbox Live. Cloud saves should be enabled by default in storage settings on Xbox 360, and there’s currently no option to toggle off this feature on the newer consoles.

Even if you completely factory reset the console, this wouldn’t necessarily affect anything saved to the profile(s) and you can always backup, move or copy data. It’s just not possible to transfer anything between accounts, game saves are unique to an account/profile.

Also, if you delete a profile on Xbox 360 and select the ‘Delete Profile and Items’ option (not ‘Delete Profile Only‘), this would delete any associated games and achievements from the specific profile.

Hello Unknown,

We understand that you would like to delete the cloud saves for game data on a Xbox 360 backwards compatible game through your Xbox One console.

Unfortunately, multiplayer save data is saved through the game's own server and cannot be deleted. For more on this, it would be best to get in touch with the developer of the game to discuss resetting the account.

We hope this information was helpful and we wish you the best!

The only way to manage Xbox 360 cloud saves on an Xbox One is from within an Xbox 360 game.

To delete it from the cloud you need to do what I said in my original post. Start the game, press both View/Start and Menu buttons together which will bring up the Xbox 360 dashboard.

Then go to Manage storage where you can manage all your Xbox 360 saves that are stored in the cloud. Deleting
