    Xbox S clear some space on External loop.


    Attempted to move games to external storage to free up internal storage, but there wasn't sufficient space. Screen message 'Clear some space on External'. When you click on free up space or cancel it immediately cycles back to the clear some space screen. No time to select any programs to remove. Tried holding the power button to reset. No success.

    Xbox S clear some space on External loop.

    I had this exact problem. While moving some games and apps from my internal hard drive to my seagate 1tb SSD, along the way my SSD became full and wouldn’t allow my last two apps(Hulu n Disney+) it would continuously pop up a screen that said Free up space on expansion card. But when I would try to click free up space or cancel, another window would pop up saying the same exact thing over and over. When the SSD was removed my Xbox would work perfectly. The only thing I could do to get it to eventually work was a factory reset. I did clear my cache before that also. But all good now.

    I have the same exact problem.

    Seems to me that my external drive is corrupted.

    If I unplug it, the xbox runs just fine. As soon as I plug it again the message about clearing some space keeps popping up.

    Any suggestions? Tried resets but nothing works

    Hello Steele310, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties trying to free up space on your Xbox Series S by transferring games to external storage.

    Try performing a hard reset on your console. To do this, press and hold the power button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it turns off completely. Then, wait a few seconds and turn on the console again. This can help reset the system state and fix temporary problems.

    You can also try Disconnect and reconnect external storage. If you have an external hard drive connected to your Xbox Series S, try disconnecting it and then connecting it again. Make sure it is connected correctly and there are no physical connection issues.

    Also make sure there is enough space available on your external storage device for game transfers. If your external storage is full, you may need to delete some games or files to free up space before trying to move more games.

    If you can't transfer games to external storage, try freeing up space on your Xbox Series S's internal storage in other ways. You can delete games or apps you no longer use, delete unnecessary data, or delete screenshots and game clips to free up space.

    Best regards.
