Hi Bhad300,

We appreciate for your patience.

To save games in the cloud, you can:

1. Set up cloud saves on consoles, such as PlayStation or Xbox, by going to Settings and selecting Application Saved Data Management.
   
2. Play a game with integrated syncing, such as Steam Cloud, which automatically syncs your game progress to the cloud.
   
3. Link game save folders to cloud storage, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, by creating symbolic links or shortcuts.
   
4. Sync your game save folder directly, by using a tool like GameSave Manager, which can scan your PC for game saves and sync them to the cloud.
   
5. Back up save files automatically, by using a backup software like EaseUS Todo Backup, which can schedule backups of your game saves to the cloud.
   

If you’re using Xbox console, you can store your saved games on Xbox servers in the cloud and pick right back up where you left off. You can also store your saved games on Xbox 360 in the cloud.

This did not work thank you though

Hello Bhad300,

Welcome to Xbox Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

It seems like you need help changing saved Forza file from console to cloud. As per description, you erroneously save it to console instead of cloud.

You can try resyncing your save to the cloud by going to;

• Manage Game > Saved Data > your profile > Delete from console.
  
• Do not select Delete from Everywhere as this will delete ALL of your data.
  
• Relaunch the game and let it sync to the cloud.
  

Try to check this article for more information. I've lost all my progress, what do I do? – Forza Support (forzamotorsport.net)

Let us know if this work.

I wasn't trying to remove a game or anything. I was suggesting a way, which is implementing a recycle bin like system so that Microsoft can ensure that you can get your accidentally deleted game saves instead of them going away forever. It would make more sense on the console rather than the cloud. I accidentally deleted the game saves and I cannot get them back because of a controller issue and pressing the A button.
