    Is there a way to turn off cloud saves for xbox one X so I can have more saved data?


    I recently ran out of saved data space while playing Skyrim on xbox and it took me a while to realize that I am not limited by my 2T hard drive or 2T external hard drive and am instead bound to only 5gb of cloud saved data per game. Does anyone know if I can alternatively turn off cloud data. That way I can create more in game saves.

    It is unfortunate that there is no way I would be able to access the saved data on xbox. I recall that it used to be an option a while ago where you could transfer saved data and at least have access to it. I have a 2T Xbox series X and it is unfortunate that i'm unable to use that storage for the purpose I want, theres almost no point in having it. Doesn't make sense that my 2T xbox has restricted saved game data to 5gb of cloud storage...

    I also understand that there is a strategy of creating a new xbox account each time my cloud saves are filled, so that I may gain more cloud storage from another account. However that seems like an extreme hassle and (no offense to you I know you didn't cause this issue) it would make more sense to move to playstation where they at least allow you access to your saved data so you can extend your gameplay. That way I wouldn't have to create and pay for a new account each time...

    Would you kindly let me know if there is a way for me to instead not use cloud data at all so I can rely on internal storage? That would allow me to not rely on the small 5gb of cloud storage for saved data.

    Please let me know if there is any way I can turn off could saved data and only rely on my internal storage at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you

    :)

    You can upload your save data from the 360 to the cloud (You need to enable cloud saving), on the Xbox One when booting your game you can then tell it to recover your save data from the cloud so you can continue where you left off

    Empty system folder

    All your saved data is stored on the Xbox and on Cloud by default, there is no option to save to one or the other by default. That way you always have a backup should things go wrong, however a bad save can be uploaded to cloud so you get messed up either
    way in that instance,

    Delete cloud backups

    Hi Magalie,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

    Unfortunately you cannot delete cloud saves or even manage cloud saves on Xbox One. Local data is backed up to the cloud automatically and overwrites an data to keep the cloud saved up to date with the most recent save in order to recover your saves in the
    event the data get's deleted locally on the console.

    Xbox One cloud saves do not have a limit and grows as your game library grows so if you can't save anymore it is more than likely because your internal hard drive does not have enough space to save any new games.

    Can you further explain what error you are getting when trying to save?

    Forza Horizon 4 crashing at Senna Screen

    Hello Ivan,

    We understand that you're experiencing an issue concerning saved data for Forza Horizon 4, and if there is a way to revert to a previous save file.

    Unfortunately, when it comes to cloud saved data, data that is stored whenever accessing any game overwrites all previously existing game save data. You can find more information about cloud saved data through our
    Xbox One cloud game saves: FAQ.

    Let us know if this helped, and we wish you the best!

    Dark Souls - Items on another xbox are waiting to be uploaded. Help?

    I managed to get this working but i had to delete my saved data to do it. When you are in the xbox 360 emulator on the xbox one you can hit the start and select button at the same time which opens the xbox 360 menu. Go down to manage storage and delete the
    cloud saved data for the game. Then exit and continue loading the game and create a new save on the cloud and it worked fine. I turned off the xbox one and started again and the game found the cloud data fine without error messages and the online function
    of the game seems to be working.
