Why no optimisation of SSD/HDD and cleaning of RAM/VRAM?

Why no optimisation of SSD/HDD and cleaning of RAM/VRAM? I have an almost new Xbox Series X bought from MS and i tis **** for FM23. Totally due to filling up with ****. If I use the REFRESH function during races the control of cars then returns but only for 1 or 2 Laps. Same as first race of the day cold console, empty memory it is good then rapidly becomes ****. Why are Microsoft goods so rubbish? Optimisation of SSD/HDD and cleaning of RAM/VRAM is basic to any PC operations without which they soon get slow and then fail; so why have we no such function on consoles especially MS ones? And don't tell me they don't need that's ****, even turning one off you have to unplug it for 30 mins to try and empty the RAM/VRAM. As example in FH5 in my PC I can remove 1.5 Gb of RAM/VRAM and game runs perfectly with no Low Video Memory warning. Are MS so stupid as to ignore this? Typical Bill Gates fraudulent junk sold on the market place. NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE is Fraud.

Well something is clogging it up which is less so when not rabid ramming. Same as GT Sport and GT7 in PS4/PS5. Consoles are junk.

defragmentation of SSDs is not necessary as it can access any sector of the drive anytime it wants to

all of these things are done behind-the-scenes, I don't know what you mean by cleaning RAM, but that's not a thing outside of scammy computer utilities. if you're talking about garbage collection by the program all of that is done again transparent to the user

The game runs just fine, so it's probably a problem with your hardware. You claim it's brand new, so youb should exchange it

The Xbox Series X isn't a PC. Technically speaking it doesn't have RAM and VRAM like a PC. The system has a unified memory architecture where the game itself is coded with how much memory is utilised as a video frame buffer. If a game is running bad, this is the fault of the developer, not Microsoft necessarily.

As for Bill Gates, he hasn't had anything to do with the running of the company since 2008.

As already mentioned, SSD's don't need any type of 'optimisation' or defragging. The drives have no moving parts, fragmentation of files has zero affect on them.

Well I have had and still have SSDs and they require lots of optimisation for Gaming. I have to do this each day. Got 2 quality PCs and have had 3 PS4s (2 put SSDs in) and PS5.

i've been building PCs for 30 years, and I own a reasonably high-end gaming PC and I have never had to optimize my SSD, ever, let alone daily.

What is "rabid ramming"?

please do not spam things that you either got from an AI or copy/pasted that are simply a list of specifications

Please articulate exactly what the problem is that you experience when you experience it. Are you playing online? how exactly exactly does this manifest itself? Be as specific as possible, preferably with taking a video clip and uploading it somewhere
