If I reset my console while keeping games and apps, will my save progress be deleted?

Hi Kris, thanks for the response.

Yes, it's connected wirelessly.

Appreciate the help, i'll go ahead and reset.

Hello Steveman182! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

As long as the console is connected to the Xbox Live network, your saves will be synced to the cloud so after the reset, it can pull them back down if something did go wrong.

Also, if I select reset with my games and apps, will it delete my saved data on those games? or will it erase that?

Hello there,

Selecting "Reset and keep my games and apps" will not delete your save data as long as your console was connected to a network while you were playing. After resetting your console, your save data will come back the next time you launch that game.

Hope this helps!
