    Less storage space than I should have.


    Hi ,

    I’ve got a 1TB Xbox series X, my games and all my apps add up to a total of 839GB of used storage so I should have 161GB of free space but it’s telling me I only have 67GB of storage free .

    What’s going on with that? Can you advise me on what I can do to sort the situation out or tell me why it might be that I have less storage free than I think I should have.

    Thanks

    :)

    Less storage space than I should have.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor here to help you with your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that according to Xbox Support:

    "Xbox consoles come with either a 500-gigabyte (GB) or a 1-terabyte (TB) internal storage drive. Most of this space is available for games and apps, though some is reserved for saved games, console software, and other system functions. So, even with no games installed, you won't see the full 500 GB or 1 TB free."

    This is where the lost storage was designated to. For your reference, you can check this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    My storage is not adding up?

    Due to the way storage space is calculated, all storage devices have less than what is advertises as usable space. Then for use on Xbox, there are system files added to the storage device that are needed to run the console. So what you're getting is about right.

    Why does my Xbox one only have 365GB available out of the 500GB I paid for?

    Part of it is for system files and part of the reason is because of how manufacturers label hard drives. Hard drive manufacturers round up the amount of storage space to make it an even number, but because of the way storage size is actually calculated,
    hard drives have less than that amount of storage space. 500GB hard drives typically have 465GB of usable storage.

    Xbox 360 game download reaches 79%, then fails

    Make sure there is enough room on the console to install the game. Consoles have less storage than a PC so some care to check the free space is important.

    Xbox series s/x expansion ssd missing 60 gigabyte??

    Based on how the space is calculated for storage devices, they actually come with less than what is shown to begin with. Then with any system files that are added in order for it to work with the console, that eats up more of the space.
