Is there a way to delete cloud save data with no Internet connection to the Xbox?

Tyler McKiney · Apr 14, 2024

I don't have home internet, and the data is getting miscalculated by my provider and I can't use all of the hotspot they say I have access to.(i.e. I download a 5Gb update, and it blows through 10Gb according to their numbers)

I have 140 Minecraft world saves, along with marketplace content, the save data is getting too large, and I want to just delete it from an account management standpoint, but the directions for deleting all of the worlds, it's constant syncing, 140+ times until they're all done, which eats through the hotspot and I can't do anything else that month. This is due to my provider's error, but this constant reliance on the Internet for Minecraft marketplace content being available on my local saves, it's getting ridiculous.

I expected it to work as DLC, an expansion that you have console "keys" for to make sure I can have access, not a ledger lookup that determines whether or not you get to use it because your name matches up to the "online record" that's completely reliant on Internet access.

Not only that, but I've been having troubles connecting to SHiFT as well for Borderlands 3.

Please tell me there's an easier way that I can just sign in with my Microsoft Account and delete my saves without connecting the Xbox to the Internet.

Games are saved to the cloud if you are connected to the internet.

If the cloud save wasn't synced, you can't get your save data back.

Depending on the way you've deleted your game, you also deleted save data..

You can see if the data is still there when you go to my games and apps and check if the save data is still there.

Yeah, my thing is, I turn on Minecraft with access to Internet, the save file is too large to correctly sync without error, which causes me to reset Xbox and redownload a 5Gb update due to factory reset.

The 140+worlds is the problem that needs to go, but the process for deletion on the Xbox is causing me to burn through the hotspot with little genuine use.

So the same problem exists, I use hotspot for mainly online play.

When I'm online it completely fails to connect to SHiFT, says something about NAT type being restricted, and then it gives Open in the settings menu, so not sure what's happening there

So if the cloud saves exist on the Internet and are connected to my "gamertag" why can I not do this from the Xbox app or a Win 10/11 computer on a different device and save my data I use to play the thing?

The cloud exists in the Internet, so you would have to have access to the Internet in order to delete those saves

Shift codes rely on access to gearbox servers as well

Hey sgt

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this post.

There is no way to manually manage your save data on the Cloud. The save data syncs automatically when you launch your game, while connected to Xbox Live.

Are you sure you are using the same account you were using previously?

There is a way to delete your save data on the cloud, but this is something that can only be done manually, so your save data wouldn't get deleted unless you actually chose to delete it.
