I need help with the external storage, deleted game

Xx9Valentino9xX · Feb 19, 2017

I had a 2 terrabite external storage attached to my console. I was at my freinds house to play and then I moved my exbox back home like normal but when I logged on I had 98% full on storage but normally I had 13%. So I thought something was wrong with
my External hard drive. So then I clicked on the storage and I thought format was changing the data to the drive. But it erased all my games. But I later figured out that I put it in the wrong hole. I got my normal games back but lost a lot of my extremely
long and high Gg games. Is there any way to get my game started back . I'm currently downloading but it takes too long and I think it doesn't save my data in the game. Please help, thank you very much.

I don't understand in 2015 why we have to install games on our console

Ok I'm making this thread because i'm disapointed I have to keep deleting games to add space on my 500 mb xbox. Yes I need an external hard drive but can't buy it until december. I have bills to pay ):Click to expand...

If you are constantly needing to delete games for storage space, then you obviously had the money to buy an external hard drive already. You keep spending money on games.

Yes, the PlayStation 4 Supports External Storage, but There’s a Catch

I don't think that it's that bad of a catch to prevent me from using the external storage. Though I am not sure if I will ever need to actually use external storage. The fact that there will be 33 games at launch makes me think that eventually, a lot of users will need the external space. I'm OK with it not being functional for downloadable games. No biggie.

Hi

If your console is connected to the Xbox Servers then the game saves should be save and your console will download them again as required.

Sorry to hear it. If redownloading the game does not work then it may be a storage problem. Do you have an external hard drive attached to your console? If so and the game is on the external drive try moving it to the internal drive (or vice versa if
need be).

If you do not have an external drive and you still have this problem you may need to either check your storage limits and try deleting some games you do not play or try a factory reset while deleting the games and apps to see if that helps.

Hello Steele310, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties trying to free up space on your Xbox Series S by transferring games to external storage.

Try performing a hard reset on your console. To do this, press and hold the power button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it turns off completely. Then, wait a few seconds and turn on the console again. This can help reset the system state and fix temporary problems.

You can also try Disconnect and reconnect external storage. If you have an external hard drive connected to your Xbox Series S, try disconnecting it and then connecting it again. Make sure it is connected correctly and there are no physical connection issues.

Also make sure there is enough space available on your external storage device for game transfers. If your external storage is full, you may need to delete some games or files to free up space before trying to move more games.

If you can't transfer games to external storage, try freeing up space on your Xbox Series S's internal storage in other ways. You can delete games or apps you no longer use, delete unnecessary data, or delete screenshots and game clips to free up space.

Best regards.

My Xbox One S is a 500GB Hard Drive Is Out of Storage Space I Need Help Please.

you can either delete content, or you can use an external USB hard drive to get additional storage. I personally have a 3TB external drive to avoid this issue.
