  1. How to wipe drive on broken Xbox one?


    I have a Xbox One which no longer works. Im trying to wipe the hard drive before I give it away but am not sure if I got it done. I got a usb drive in with the factory reset thing and did the factory reset before it shut off. Did my hard drive have time to reset? The longest it lasted to was the part where it says that it needs some updates. The Xbox turns off after 10 minutes which is why Im giving it away for parts.

    :)

    How to wipe drive on broken Xbox one?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'll be happy to assist you out today.

    Hope you're doing great today mate

    If you’re able to perform the factory reset via offline update or if you’re able to do it inside settings app.
    You’re good to go.

    Another option is connect it (if you already remove it from the console) to your computer and use disk management to format it from there

    When will the xbox app be working again? I'm paying for something I cant use and you havent fixed.

    as it is not a widespread issue then there is something with your pc, you say they wiped it but exactly how did they wipe it, if they just reset the OS then this does not always resolve the issues as there could be corrupt data, better to wipe the drive and re install windows from a pen drive completely. there is no bug in the last update otherwise everyone would be affected.

    XBox One Hard Drive Wipe

    I am unsure if they do a hardrive wipe, but do not fear loosing your charters! Your Destiny characters are stored on Bungie's servers so there is nothing stored locally on the console. Also, all your game saves are stored on the cloud, so if they do wipe
    your harddrive all you will have to do is redownload the game and your progress will start off right where you left it :)
