“We can’t save anymore data for this game or app.” Stupidness.

Hi Kel,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Xbox. I understand that you are receiving error an error message whenever you sync your console.

This error code is not related to your local storage but on your "cloud saves" storage. If you are playing Bethesda games or other games with large save files, there is a high chance that you already reached the limit of your cloud storage.

To fix this issue, you will have to permanently delete some of your saved files from the cloud to free up space. You may choose some of those games that you already finished or you're no longer playing. To do this, follow these steps:

Note: this will delete your local and cloud saved data from the game that you will choose, it can no longer be retrieved once deleted.

On Home, select My games and apps.

Highlight the game, press the Menu button​ ​​on your controller, and then select Manage game.

In the menu on the left of the screen, scroll down to Saved Data, then highlight the saved data for your gamertag on the right and press the A button on your controller.

You'll be prompted to confirm the deletion of this game save data

Select "Delete Everywhere"

Regards,

Alvaro

Hi Jack, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, clear the local saved games, power cycle the console and open the game again.

To do it, follow these steps:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.

On the Manage storage devices screen, select: Clear local saved games. This deletes games saved to your hard drive, but they'll still be saved to the cloud.

Then, turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 60 seconds.

Important Be sure to wait at least 60 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

Plug the console power cable back in.

Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

This moderator is clearly copying and pasting old data from the Xbox One days. This troubleshoot doesn’t work on Xbox Series X or S consoles.

“Cloud saved games” isn’t an option anymore.

I can’t find how to force a cloud sync. I can’t play Starfield on my other console in another room because the data won’t sync.

What’s the point of cloud saving if it doesn’t actually save???

Yes I’ve cleared over 100 gb on my Xbox but xcloud still won’t work for fallout 4 and it’s only fallout 4 that has a problem. I tried using cloud gaming on my Xbox instead but it still didn’t work. My game starts syncing and then says “we can’t save any more data for this game or app” and says my Xbox is out of space for saved data

Everyone doesn’t want to grind X amount of hours. Personally I don’t have the time to do that anymore so it shouldn’t be expected of anyone to delete their data they worked hard for just to play a game. Hopefully their is a fix for this. I know in the past when there was save data issues you couldn’t load a particular save however you would just go to another save and tried to load it if you saved in multiple slots or points throughout the game. However this doesn’t give you the option as you can’t even access your profile of save data thus the problem.
