    My storage didn't free up after deleting 2 games, and they each were at least 70 GB. I've heard of this problem happening to other PC gamers. (I play on PC) These games were Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves.

    Unable to switch hard drive used for Xbox app game downloads on Windows 11

    Nevermind, after seemingly no reason after a few minutes after the clean boot I was able to rename it and change the folder that the Xbox app downloads in successfully, and that I thank you for. But the WindowsApps.old folder has near 450GB of things in it because I, about a year ago, did manage to use my D: drive to play a free trial of Game Pass, and the game data from that is still on there and taking up a lot of storage without me being able to delete it from the Xbox app itself. Am I able to delete the contents of this WindowsApps.old folder without messing anything up? Just needing to know if I can clear a lot of extra taken up storage.

    Xbox S clear some space on External loop.

    Hello Steele310, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties trying to free up space on your Xbox Series S by transferring games to external storage.

    Try performing a hard reset on your console. To do this, press and hold the power button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it turns off completely. Then, wait a few seconds and turn on the console again. This can help reset the system state and fix temporary problems.

    You can also try Disconnect and reconnect external storage. If you have an external hard drive connected to your Xbox Series S, try disconnecting it and then connecting it again. Make sure it is connected correctly and there are no physical connection issues.

    Also make sure there is enough space available on your external storage device for game transfers. If your external storage is full, you may need to delete some games or files to free up space before trying to move more games.

    If you can't transfer games to external storage, try freeing up space on your Xbox Series S's internal storage in other ways. You can delete games or apps you no longer use, delete unnecessary data, or delete screenshots and game clips to free up space.

    Best regards.

    Cloud storage full message

    Hi there

    If this is 360 cloud storage you have a 2GB save limit and you will have to delete some saves to free up space.

    If it's xbox one cloud storage then I'm not to sure to my knowledge there is no save limit on xbox one cloud storage but I could be wrong
