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

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Srdp

Try checking if you are able to download the cloud saved data for the games following the steps here, but first power cycle the console:

1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.

Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.

3. Plug the console power cable back in.

4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, try again

Hello, thanks for responding! When you say clear local saved games, it will delete all games on my console but it won’t delete any games saved on the cloud. How do I know that my games are saved on the cloud?

On System settings I see “Clear local saved games” and “Clear local Xbox 360 storage” what one do you want me to choose? Because I don’t want to accidentally wipe my console. I have tried moving it to my Internal storage but the thing is I don’t have my add-on downloaded anymore and I can’t seem to find it in the “Ready to install” section of that game.

I understand, then what you should do is the following

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.

On the Manage storage devices screen, select:

Clear local saved games. This deletes games saved to your hard drive, but they’ll still be saved to the cloud.

Clear local Xbox 360 storage. This deletes Xbox 360 games saved locally, but they’ll remain in the cloud.

It will not interfere with save files as long as you do not select delete profile and items, the "Items" are your saves, you'll simply be deleting the account from the Xbox. And like the above elaborated

Go to Settings>System>Storage>Clear Local Saved Games>Yes and Restart
