    Hello everyone Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    ..........

    If I uninstall a game on my Xbox One, will it also erase my save game data and any additional DLC for that I got? I don't want to remove the save game data / extra DLC; I will still be keeping the uninstalled game disc and re-install later.

    ..........

    Thank you very much for your assistance regarding this matter, I really appreciate it Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    ..........

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    If I delete a game using uninstall from the XB1 hard drive what happens to all the save games etc associated with it?

    On the 360 they were always still linked to the game even if you uninstalled it but having uninstalled Tomb Raider today to create some space there is no reference to the game at all on the console even though there should be a saved SP game....

  3. Some things you may want to know.

    Can you uninstall games that you may be done with and just keep the save file? And have the ability to re-download the game when you want to? The 360 makes it easy to just uninstall the game when I saved it to the hard drive and it keeps the save files.
    So if I wanted to install the game back to the harddrive it worked with no problem. If you can do this on the one I don't see it being a huge deal.

    yeah you can upload your save info to the cloud or just keep the file and then delete the install file.

    Uninstall a game, keep your save file?

    No, your save data is stored in the cloud and will resync when you reinstall the game

    Your DLC is fine too - it will all be stored in your 'ready to download' menu

  5. Hello "NEUROTIC HOG" Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    Thank you very much for you help, I really appreciate it Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    I don't want to buy an External HDD yet because the games will just keep on getting bigger & bigger (so I don't want to have to buy a 2 TB HDD and then get a 5 TB HDD later), I will pick-up a 5 TB later since prices will drop when the 10 TB HDD comes out
    LOL Uninstall a game, keep your save file? :)

    Uninstalling a game I installed on the harddrive.

    No. It is possible to delete the install without deleting your save game files. When you go to uninstall, the largest file, usually around 6-7gb, is the install. There will be other files that say saved game. Don't delete those. Just delete the large file.
    You will not lose your saved games.
