Removing Account

Alexx641 · Jul 11, 2014

I'm about to sell my Xbox to a friend, but was wondering if i delete my profile will it keep all the games i have on my hard drive? As i have about 20 or so on there, when he buys it all he'll have to do is create an account and they'll be ready to play?

Xbox is telling me to get Gold even though I have it?

Another way to attempt to fix this, is to remove the account from the xbox in settings->accounts-> remove accounts. After that is removed login with that gametag again to force the console to fetch your live subscription data. In rare cases your Xbox account and live account will lose sync.

Good to know. I'll try all this when I get back home to try it out. Thanks

No.You would need to delete everything.There is a way he could access the downloaded content but that would be classed as marketplace theft & is against the terms & conditions.

here is the HD format process

Format a storage device

Important When you format a storage device, all of the information saved on that device is erased and cannot be recovered. Make sure that you either do not want the information stored on that device or have backed up the information to another device before
you continue.

To format a storage device

1.Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings.

2.Select Storage or Memory.

3.Select the storage device that you want to format, and then press Y on your controller.

4.Select Format. You will see the following message:

This will delete all content on this device. Do you wish to continue?

5.Select Yes to format the storage device.

6.If you are asked to enter your console serial number, do so, and then select Done. This step helps to guard against accidental formatting.

Hello BackhandSpark89,

The GT "BackhandSpark89" is an auto-generated one, which means you signed in with an email address that has never signed into an Xbox Live service before.

I would suggest verifying your email address, and trying to sign in once more.

Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions.

You're probably trying to create a new account, instead of just downloading your "cloud based" account, that still exists on the Live servers, waiting to be downloaded to your console.

Please read Add / Remove Account on how to download your existing account to your Xbox One again.

In case you really want to start over as if you've never owned an account before (also losing your purchases on the old account), you can't use your Microsoft Account email you used before.

You will have to create a new Microsoft Account along with a new Gamertag.
