How to Delete Profiles on Xbox Series X or S
Deleting profiles on Xbox Series X or S can be a necessary task if you need to free up some space or if you no longer want to use a specific account. Luckily, the process is straightforward and easy to follow.
Here’s how to delete profiles on Xbox Series X or S:
1. Turn on your Xbox Series X or S console and sign in to the profile that you want to delete.
2. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
3. Navigate to the Profile & system tab and select Settings.
4. Select Account and then choose Remove accounts.
5. Choose the profile that you want to delete from the list of accounts.
6. Select Remove to confirm the deletion.
Note: If the account has an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you must cancel the subscription before you can delete the profile. To cancel the subscription, go to the Services & subscriptions tab in the Account settings and select Cancel.
If you’re deleting your own profile, you may be prompted to choose a new Microsoft account to sign in with. If the profile you’re deleting is the only profile on your console, you’ll be logged out and returned to the sign-in screen. You can then create a new profile or sign in with a different account.
Deleting a profile will also delete all game saves, achievements, and other data associated with that profile. If you want to keep this data, you can transfer it to another profile before deleting the original profile.
To transfer game saves and other data, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to the profile that you want to transfer data from.
2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
3. Navigate to the Profile & system tab and select Settings.
4. Select Storage.
5. Choose the device that you want to transfer data from.
6. Select Transfer and then choose the destination profile.
7. Select the items that you want to transfer and then select Transfer.
Once the data transfer is complete, you can safely delete the original profile.
In conclusion, deleting profiles on Xbox Series X or S is a quick and easy process that anyone can follow. It’s important to remember to transfer any important data before deleting a profile to avoid losing it permanently.
