How to delete a game off the xbox game list

m00ch0 · 17 Jan 2007 at 23:38

basically as the title says a friend put a game in my console and i have some rubbish arcade games that come up on my game list when comparing games which i deleted and no longer have but they are still there!

Help, how do i get rid of these? makes it look untidy!

Don't think you can. Not the end of the world.

It annoys people who are into GamerScores. As the summary page will count it as one of your played games when it counts your stats of % complete in games.

A score of 30000 when you have played say 40 games would be good. But as it remembers demos it may say out of 50 games you have played (you downloaded 10 demos you didnt then buy).

I am sure people were complaining about this when 360 first came out and people started to achieve the points.

I must admit it seems like such a simple thing to fix in a dash update or something. Just giving you the option to delete games you don't own or for whatever reason you want to delete.
BUT before they fix this they must add in my top request of giving the 360 the option to allow deleting the ~8GB of data on the 20GB drives (for people who want the space for otehr crap or want no xbox1 emulation).

It's such a small thing it really isn't worth fixing.

I'll settle for them applying a fix that gives me back the 8GB on the HDD then :cool:

Delete all the preloaded videos and it should only be 7GB

problem i see is its then possible to totally delete all your gamerscore and if your sister/brother or anyone else for that matter got their hands on your 360 and logged into your profile (not hard to do iirc) then they could wipe a fair few Gamerscore points away easily.

While in all honesty I couldn't care less if my Played list shows trials etc, I can't imagine it would be too difficult to implement it to only allow removal of games with either 0 GamerScore, or that show as a demo or trial.

Id quite like to be able to remove some of them, as in the trials that Ive played, and also to be able to flag which games I no longer own. Not the biggest problem in the world, but it would be a nice additional feature.

If they did it, they should also incorporate a few changed to the friends/invite system, to allow you to filter friends who own a particular game, or have played it in the last x days.

I wish there was an option to remove them, purely to stop people inviting me to games i've either sold on or never bought the full version on.

Not that anyone ever invites me to games, seeing as I have no friends, but in theory it could be annoying if I was popular

I know that, Git! lol

But i did know there where a few like the ones above you wanted shot of just to tidy up your card.

McDaniel · 18 Jan 2007 at 11:26

I did email there support team about it and they said it was not possible for them to do

It's also important to track who'se actually bought and played DOA X2.

I'd love to know why it has to be so big. Surely it's not just a coincidence that 7GB is the same size as the original xbox hard drive. My theory is that it's actually using your 360 drive to make a seperate 7 GB partition that acts as the complete original xbox hard drive. Nevermind the fact that the drive in my original xbox has about 6.9 GB free and no original xbox game needs 7 GB of swap space.

It's the only thing that explains why the space couldn't be used progressively as the compatibility updates are downloaded. You will also notice when you download one of these compatibility updates that they are tiny and download in 30 secs, so that means Microsofts explanation about the updates being huge doesn't hold water at all.

They really should give you the option of just reclaiming all that space. I never run any xbox games on my 360 anyway thanks to virtually none of them working through VGA :rolleyes:
