My Xbox is always telling me to clear my local saved games whenever I try and enter a game

Montpitts · Jan 15, 2021

Whenever I try and play a game the message pops up on my loading screen saying I need to clear my local saved games so I do but the console always fails to restart and I get the troubleshoot menu which doesn't go away until I choose to factory reset which
takes almost half an hour of my time. This continually happens every time I try to play any game. My HDD is barely 30% full btw and I spend most of, if not all, of my time playing online so I just can't figure it out this is really annoying.

Hi there X13,

What error message are you seeing specifically? Can you please include a photo of it or verbatim on what you're seeing?

If you visit Settings>System>Storage, you'll see an option to Clear local saved games. This will remove saves stored locally on your console such as if you played a game offline and didn't sync the game back to the cloud when you came back online. Games will
save automatically to the cloud when you're signed into your Xbox profile and connected to Xbox Live.

If your HDD is full, it's clear. Uninstall some games and the message stops showing. It is not recommended to fill the HDD to the maximum.

Ye its always signed into live with good wire connection. Also after being on for an hour or so nothing will install from disc or ready to install list just says instaltion stopped constantly if i resume. Also will not let me save on certain games when
its been on for same time period.

It's because you HDD is full and needs room for auto saving.

I have the same problem. Plenty of room on my HDD. Factory reset has not fixed the problem either.
