If I factory reset my xbox one, will it be saved by the cloud? If so, where can you check?

Hello. So one day when I was checking my Xbox (i did not use it for 3 months) A error message has came and it was the E106 error. This means that I have to factory reset my Xbox one in order to actually fix this issue. Now the only problem is they delete my account, my saved data but not my games. What I am wondering is that if I do this, will the cloud make it so that it keeps my account and my saved data? Will my account fully be deleted as in my Microsoft account or is it just the Xbox console account. If the cloud keeps my account and saved data after factory reset, is there a way you can check just encase before you do the factory reset because I want to know if all my games are saved. Last question that I have is about one game, roblox. I have a account I think that is logged in there. If i do factory reset my Xbox, will it delete my whole account in that game or not? Anyways this Xbox account is very precious to me and I do not want to lose my data over the years I use this Xbox. So please try to give me a answer. Thank you.

Do I need to have game pass for the cloud? I did recently stop the subscription and it ends in 6/16/24 and I do not know if it is still valid.

Hi there Andrew, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Resetting the console to its factory settings will not permanently delete your Microsoft account, nor will you lose your game purchases or progress since everything is saved in the Xbox Cloud. After resetting the console, you will need to sign in with the same account, so it's necessary to know the email and password of the account before proceeding. Once you sign back in, you'll have access to your purchases, game progress, etc. Don't worry.

Your Roblox account won't be deleted either.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

No, you don't need to have a Game Pass subscription for your game progress to be saved in the Cloud.

Hello Akxsis,

Thank you for your post. If you factory reset your Xbox One your saved data will still be in the cloud. This means anytime you play a game on another Xbox One console or after a factory reset you will be able to continue the game where you left off so long
as you are on the same account you originally played the game on. For more information on cloud saves, check out:

Xbox Cloud Saves FAQ.

I hope this helps.
