    Local Storage


    Hello!

    Is there any known way to access the Local Storage? I've been downloading a lot of music/videos via Youtube and I can't seem to find a way to get to 'em. I don't own a USB drive and I'm not sure if I can transfer those files to my External hard drive. I
    remember once upon a time you use to be able to have an app for that... What happened?

    :)

    Local storage clear?

    Hey there Talkiestgolf170,

    We can definitely understand the concern with loosing data when clearing your local saved games. Doing this is a pretty common troubleshooting step that we take, and the short answer is that this will remove game data that is saved locally to your consoles
    hard drive but it does not delete any of your game save data on the cloud storage.

    As mentioned on the support article:
    Manage Storage on Xbox One


    "When you’re connected to Xbox Live, your saved games and any personal data for your games and apps are automatically stored on both your Xbox and in the cloud. That way, you don’t lose game position when you play at a friend’s house or get a new
    Xbox
    ."

    The steps that you would be going through would be as follows:

    1. Press the Xbox button
      to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > System >
      Storage.
    3. In the left column, select:
      • Clear local saved games. This deletes games saved to your hard drive, but they’ll still be saved to the cloud.
    This will delete game saved data and not the games themselves, also once you have done this and re launch the game you will notice that all your data is gonna be synced from the cloud.

    I hope this helps.

    Local storage clear?

    Remember if the cloud storage has been corrupted you will lose everything. However, if it both saves have been corrupted you are going to have to start over anyway.

    Changing from local storage to cloud storage

    When you chose local storage then it most like synced with the cloud overwriting the data stored there so you won't be able to recover it.

    All of my Xbox360 games on xbox one wont connect to Xbox live.

    Do you get an error code? Is it 80151906?

    Also, have you tried clearing the local 360 storage by going to Settings -> System -> Storage, and then "Clear local Xbox 360 storage"?

    Clearing cache

    You will actually need 514 MB (as a minimum) of free space on your local storage device, and not the cache memory of your local storage device. When you setup cloud storage on your Xbox 360, it'll create a "local cache" of 514 MB of your storage device.
