Minecraft "You are running low on storage space! We have restricted access to this function...

Hello TheSwagNinja49,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your issue!

Are you experiencing this problem on an Xbox or a PC? This will provide us with more clarity when trying to investigate the issue.

Thank you!

Sorry for taking a bit to get back but i have already tried this and all of the fixes are only temporary and most of the time only allow me to load into my worlds but when i save and quit it will not save so there is no point to playing. the message i get
is ""You are almost out of data storage space! Minecraft has restricted access to this feature until you clear up additional storage space" i have 100+ gb of storage left on my xbox and minecraft saved data is only 300
mb max

Thank you.

I have cleared the local saved game - still the same error.

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. This time skipping the update. Then I don't get an error message, but the game just exits (crahses?).

When I make the update, I get the same error message:

You are almost out of data storage space! Minecraft has restricted access to this feature until you clear up additional storage space.

Kind regards

If you're running low on storage space, consider deleting some old games on the storage device that you don't really play any more.

Buying Resident Evil 4 (as a digital download) on the Xbox Store will require some storage space.

If you have the 360 disc of the game, you should be able to just play it without installing.

Hi Kaiden Brown,

We understand that you're experiencing issues with Minecraft on your Xbox. Based on the error message you're receiving, it seems like you're running out of storage space on your Xbox. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:



1. Clear the cache on your Xbox: To do this, press and hold the power button on your Xbox until it turns off completely. Unplug the power cable from the back of the Xbox and wait for 10 seconds. Plug the power cable back in and turn on your Xbox. This will clear the cache and may resolve the issue.



2. Check your storage space: Go to Settings > System > Storage on your Xbox to check how much storage space you have left. If you're running low on space, you may need to delete some games or apps to free up space.



3. Move Minecraft to your external hard drive: If you have an external hard drive connected to your Xbox, you can move Minecraft to it to free up space on your Xbox. To do this, go to Settings > System > Storage > Manage storage > Internal > Games and apps > Minecraft > Move > select your external hard drive.



4. Delete unnecessary Minecraft data: If you have a lot of saved worlds or other data in Minecraft that you don't need, you can delete it to free up space. To do this, go to Settings > System > Storage > Manage storage > Internal > Games and apps > Minecraft > Saved data > select the data you want to delete > Delete.
