Internal hard drive full

TalentedTitan1 · Nov 7, 2021

I’ve bought an external hard drive to put most of my games on. At the moment there is no games on my Xbox series S. but it still says that 79% of the memory is used.

Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

This time, I'll be providing you a step to restore your console to its factory defaults to remove all potentially corrupted files that can interrupt you from using the console’s full potential. Nothing to worry as everything will stay intact, you just need to sign in using your account. No games or apps will be deleted. Make sure you know your emails and password, okay?

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Settings > System > Console info > reset then keep my games and apps.

Hello Vash,

Thank you for keeping us updated. There are some instances in which games on an external hard drive do not receive updates. We recommend moving around some of the games on the internal and external hard drives. Since your internal hard drive is full, you
can move some of them to the external hard drive. Once the internal hard drive has some extra space, we suggest moving some of the games from the external hard drive to the internal. Check to see if those games require any updates. Be sure to let us know the
results!

The 4gb is not a hard drive,it's just an internal flash drive & can get full quite quickly with saves,updates etc.

If I remember Battlefield wont work with the internal 4gb,you need an official Microsoft hard drive connected to your console.

Hi

Depending on the total size of games that have already been installed it is possible that the consoles internal hard drive may already be full. Please see the

guide here about managing storage.

If the internal hard drive is full a compatible external hard drive can be used to expand the console memory. Details about adding an external hard drive is also detailed in the link I provided above.

Hi Kill4fun1352,

I would like to query if it hasn't already been asked. How much of your internal hard drive is used?

I have had many people with similar problems and was focused around their internal hard drive being too full. as the internal hard drive is used to store the operating system it slows down the processing power of the console itself. I've always had external
storage with my games on to stop my internal being full and have never experienced slowing down of my console.
