Quick question on game data

Feral Boar 66 · Jan 14, 2014

I know that all game saves/data/settings are backed up on the cloud .....and that even if you delete the game entirely.....later on when you redownload it all your game data will still synch back up. My questions are

A. is there a separate place where game/data/setttings etc. is actually saved on the hard drive as well (separate from the actual game app itself)?

and

B. How would one go about erasing your game data from the cloud if you wanted to. For example if I wanted to completely restart all of my Forza 5 progress to where it was like my profile never actually played the game (in cases of save corruption or just
the fact that I wanted to do it)...how would I go about this?

Copy data to USB

Just a quick question regarding copying data from HDD to USB. Is it possible to copy/ move all data at once or will I have to go in to each game and find the files i need one by one then copy across? - there will be 400+

Thanks

Save data u must go in game and delele the save there. And there is a hard drive opion. But u must remove it from the cloud first. Or redownload it to your system

Hey man, quick question every time i play a game it always comes up with syncing data for the game and it takes ages and it never did this when i first got my xbox any help?

I think it's because the game data can't be pulled off the blu ray quick enough, whereas a hdd it can. If the blu ray drive could spin quick enough and read the data it would probably explode.

Hi there, it's a bit of a tricky question because yes it's possible to retrieve data after a format as generally when a 'quick format' has been done it's just partition the data. I don't believe the Xbox would have done a quick format though and I have a
feeling it would have erased all data/software in order to put it's own on there so it's compatible.

Though the only way to get data after a format is by using a program on the PC like file scavenger so you might need to look into it further, there's certainly nothing you can do through the Xbox console to get the data back.
