Is there a way for me to keep my saves when clearing local saved games?

Hello Ellis M, my name is Vanessa, and I would be happy to help.

It's definitely frustrating that you've had this happen repeatedly, but don't worry, I have a solution for your problem. Or at least, this worked for me, and it helped me solve this inconvenience, since this happened to me.

Yes, there is a way to keep your saves when clearing local saved games.

On next-gen consoles, saved games are stored in the cloud by default. This is done so that you can access your saves from any device, even if you switch consoles.

However, if you don't want to use the cloud, you can disable this option. To do this, follow these steps:

1) Open the settings on your console.
2) Select "Storage".
3) Select "Saved games".
4) In the "Cloud save" section, uncheck the box next to "Save game data to the cloud".
Once you have disabled this option, your saves will be stored locally on the console. This means that you won't be able to access them from other devices, but they also won't be deleted if you clear the local saved games.

In the case of Minecraft, you can also copy your saves to a memory card. To do this, follow these steps:

1) Connect the memory card to your console.
2) Open the file explorer.
3) Select the memory card.
4) Find the "Minecraft" folder. and Copy the "Saves" folder to the memory card.
Once you have copied the saves to the memory card, you can clear the local saved games without losing your data.

As for your question about why you can't just save your data locally, the answer is that next-gen consoles are designed to work with the cloud. This allows players to access their saves from any device, even if they switch consoles.

If you don't want to use the cloud, you can disable this option, but you will lose the ability to access your saves from other devices.

I hope this works for you. Let me know how it goes, best of luck.

I did check the site, and no one had any suggestions. Only one person said they cleared their local and cloud save and started a new game which got it to work. Problem is the game is a super grind and I've unlocked a ton of stuff which I don't want to do
again.

I'm trying to see if there is a way to backup my save. clear the local and cloud save, get the achievement and then reload my save. I have 2 Xboxs, would it be possible to install the game on my second Xbox, clear the local and cloud save, get the achievement,
clear local and cloud save again, then fire up my main Xbox with my game save on it?

Hey there Walter,

Sorry to hear you are running into problems with the game saves on this game, If you have not already done this i would advise that you go ahead and Clear your Local Save Games. This will remove all locally saved game save data but will keep your Cloud
saves.

You can follow steps on how to clear your local saved games by following the link below. Once you are on the page scroll all the way down and follow the steps on clearing local saved games.

Give this a try and let us know if it has helped.

If you interupt or a install freezes then the game will uninstall automatically to protect your OS from corruption.

Hello Austyn,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. This seems as an odd situation. Were the games installing by chance the ones that are gone? Also have you been able to install them again?

Thanks,

Brad
