my xbox one's left thumbtack is acting odd

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Ian, if you have a USB cable, try to follow the procedures bellow.

First remove the batteries from the controller and for 1 minute keep pressing all the buttons on the controller and moving the knobs.

After you're done, plug the USB cable controller into your console and turn it on.

Look for controller updates in the Xbox accessories part, if you have an update available, do it.

Then clear the cache on the console and check if the control has any updates to be made.

1. Go to the Xbox press and hold the XBOX power button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off

2. Wait 10 seconds until it turns off

3. Wait 1 minute with it off

4. Turn it back on

After the console restarts and I'm at the console start screen, put the batteries back in the controller, remove the USB cable and see if it back to normal.

so an updated firstly I did a wireless update and hoped in destiny 2 to like any place to move and so far the issue seems to be gone if it happens again there might be a internal issue with the stick if not the update helped fix it and I saved a lot of cash

I will try that but first I have to unplug my current external hard drive to do so as the base storage for the xbox is a bit small

Hello there @La Carotte, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about the console situation; However, I believe your console might need just a system refresh to perform the system update successfully if it's missing any. I would like you to go through
the following steps to perform a quick power cycle.

I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

If you are still receiving a black screen, I would like you please to kindly follow the instructions below to physically reset your console:

- Turn off the console unplug all the cables then re-plug them back again.

- Click on the "Bind" and "Eject" buttons at the same time after 10 seconds click the home "X" button just once without letting go of the two buttons. Throughout the whole process you will hear two beep sounds and end up with a troubleshooting page. On your
screen. You will need to select the "Reset this Xbox" option and choose "Reset and keep my games and apps".

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you
to sign in to the account.

In case both troubleshooting steps weren't helpful, the next solution would be to perform an offline system update. In the link below you will be directed to everything you need to know about the offline update and how to run it.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

well if you have anything like demos and stuff you could do without id suggest trying to get rid of as much as possible that you dont use on the daily. ive removed demos that ive kepy for years but only played once and they were as much as 1.5 GB. try this
and see if you can get at least 4 GB on your hdd, if not then if you have a spare USB try that or purchase one on the cheap for 16 just to have an extra to bakc up to and try reformattting your usb after the transfer to another source.
