Local Saved Data on Xbox

bdubbink · May 12, 2022

I have been getting a message recently that my local storage is full and I can no longer save any data on the system. There was a previous message from a different user about this before and I tried the method they used and it worked for me but only for a day or so and the issue reappeared. I have cleared local save data and reinstalled games multiple times but the issue still resurfaces. I have over 100 GB left of internal storage (which I know has little to do with local saved data) and it consistently keeps giving me this error message. This was never an issue until just recently, so I don't know if it's a bug with a recent system update or if my system's storage is just malfunctioning. What am I supposed to do?

You CAN actually delete your save game data locally on your xbox and leave it in the cloud. Go to your games/apps section in dashboard and go to the game in question. There are options to delete the local save game data and save game data in the cloud. You
can delete local data or delete local and cloud data.

Thanks for clarifying. Sadly, it is not possible to transfer save data between the Xbox Cloud Gaming service and a locally installed console version of a game. The save data for games played on Xbox Cloud Gaming is stored on the cloud servers and is not accessible on a local console. Similarly, save data for games played on a local console is not synced with the cloud.

I don't own a PC, so does this essentially mean my console is going to do this forever?

Another option could be waiting until a new system update gets released to see if in that way the issue gets fixed.

Also you can try share this feedback with Microsoft via link below:

But I advise that if possible try getting a PC asking a friend to use it for a while. The thing is that you need to format your USB as NTFS first. Then transfer the files

Hope you're doing great today mate

In case you didn't try it, could be nice perform an offline update for your console. In that way Xbox system will be installed from scratch.
For this you need a USB and PC to format it and transfer files provided in the link below (with steps):
