If I delete my profile off an Xbox One, does that make the games I bought unplayable?

JessahxFDS · Aug 30, 2017

So my brother is being selfish as and taking our family Xbox when he moves out even though my mum bought the Xbox and I bought pretty much all the games (Fallout 4, FIFA 17, COD: IW, ME:A, Skyrim, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3, just to name a few and their price
range is high). I bought them all online off my own profile and I was just wondering if I delete my profile (also has my card info and my brother is untrustworthy) does that delete the games I bought so he can't play anymore? If it's not possible that way
how do I do it? I know this seems petty but he is taking the Xbox and he only ever uses it for Netflix like what the **** haha

Deleting Profile on Xbox 360

Im looking to trade my 360 in and i want to delete my profile off it before i trade it in.

I heard they're is two options when you choose to delete your profile off a console..

Option 1: "Delete Profile Only (This deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements.)

Option 2: "Delete Profile and Items (To delete the profile and the associated saved games and achievements)"

Im just wondering that if i choose option 2, to delete my profile AND the items. Does this delete everything associated with my profile on JUST this console? Or on EVERYTHING? like xbox one, etc? Because ive got my profile setup on my Xbox one but im worried
that if i delete my profile and choose option 2 on my 360 that it will delete everything off my profile like achievements and everything and then when i go back to my profile on xbox one everything will be gone, achievements etc.

I.e. will I still have all of my achievements etc on my profile on my Xbox One, if i choose option 2

Can someone explain this to me please

Deleting old profile after downloading it onto a new xbox?

So recently I bought a new 360 cause my old one was nearing its end.

I downloaded my profile onto the new xbox and was wondering if I delete the profile off of my original xbox, will it erase or mess up the one I downloaded onto the new system?

Not sure if the answer is obvious but I just dont feel like risking it.

(I want to delete the profile off of my old one cause I'm letting my little brother have it)

Not necessarily. If you have the console set as your Home console it will allow him to play your games even if you remove your account.

It also makes my games unplayable when i'm offline even though normally i can play them offline and also i did try deleting and redownloading my profile, but it did't work.

Hi,

it is not clear to me if the old profile is still in the console because the seller forgot to delete it or because you had maybe some kind of agreement with him.

If the games were bought by this old profile, you can play the games with your/new profile only if the console is marked as the "home console" of that old profile, which has to be kept in the console.

If you delete the profile the games won't be uninstallaled, but they will be unplayable with any other profile.

SAV JIGGA23 deleting a account off a xbox does not make it gone forever you are able to redownlaod your profile to any other xbox unit.

Hi!

Make sure you have downloaded the latest updates for the console. Try holding down the power button for 10 secs and try again. If it does not work, delete the profile from the console and re-download it again.

I have already tried rebooting it by holding the power button for ten seconds. I've done that multiple times actually. I checked for updates and the last one was in February and we have it. I don't know if deleting my profile would work as the games also
don't work with other profiles, but I will try it. Recently, it seems the Xbox One has also become slower and I am wondering if I should start deleting games off it. Perhaps it has not enough memory.
