Xbox series x error code 0x80830003

Lazarus Pit · Feb 28, 2024

Hey,

So I've recently been getting this persistent and extremely frustrating error code 0x80830003 when trying to play skyrim I haven't played it for a little while but it worked fine just last year (2023).

I've already tried the main solutions to resolve this issue that I could find listed on this website and others I'll list them here...

Restarting the console.

Clearing local save data.

Power cycling and also power cycling with external drives disconnected.

Factory resetting the console, keep games and apps option.

Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Literally every other game is working without issue it seems just this one game, obviously I don't want to lose my save data, I have several characters with hundreds of hours each so losing that is really not an option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Xbox series x and about 2 months ago I have plenty of storage over 187gigs left and a expansion card and it's up to date on updates. It's error code 0x80830003 saying that the Xbox is out of memory and after a factory reset it works for like a week or 2 and now it's every e days.

I’m not streaming on my Xbox. I’m using the gamepass app on my chromebook. I also tried playing on my iPad but it still got the same error code 0x80830003
