    What does the "Reset and keep my games and apps" actually delete from the xbox


    I'm having a problem recently and all the answers I found on how to solve the problem were resetting the xbox, but I'm afraid of losing something important that I might not be able to get it back due to lack of time, money or other reason.

    :)

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you need help.

    This step will remove the profiles on your console, make sure that you remember the email and password to your account.

    No data or game saves will be lost doing this, everything is backed up to the cloud servers.

    So actually what you have to do is go to settings and delete your account from your xbox ( don’t worry it will keep all your data) then go to settings also reset games and apps the restart your xbox and then it should work!

    Black Screen of Death still after Sept 23 Update

    I believe this option will not delete captures as it does not delete your games.

    ''Reset and keep my games & apps. Use this option as your primary choice when troubleshooting. It resets the OS and deletes all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps''

    Start up error E208 00000570 00000005?

    What does factory resetting it do?
    The Factory Rest will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps. But please make sure to select Reset and keep my games & apps. Also, before preforming the reset, you will need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account because it will require you to sign in to the account.
