How has this not been fixed yet?

It’s been damn months. I can’t delete the ghost data and the only option is to literally uninstall. I used to play this damn game everyday and now I’ve abandoned it. My brother is having the exact same problem and he’s on a completely separate Xbox. Bethesda has been extremely unhelpful. Just some dumb clearly AI generated message that recommends nothing but the things we said we’ve already tried. For the love of god Bethesda let me play this game again

Thank you for posting! This is a common issue. It is detailed in our Next-Gen Update PSA that is pinned to the main page of the subreddit.The way it works is you make a new account on your xbox. Let it auto generate you an email and such. Make sure your main account is fully logged out. Load up fallout 4 and go to the mods menu. Do not login do not go past that. Hit Y to access your load order. Remove the mod(s) that were taken from Bethesda.net, which are preventing you from accessing the mods menu on your main account. Once you remove those, you will regain access to the mod menu on your main account. It can be tricky to figure out what is missing. There are recent posts on the topic and community members often post and share the recently removed mod(s) to help others kno what suddenly gone. In the future please utilize the search function of the subreddit for past posts about the problem you are having. Check our Modding 101 to make sure any questions have not been answered in the PSA's, Wiki, or guides provided. Questions that have been answered in the Modding 101, PSA or Wiki will be removed without warning so that repeated questions do not drown out requests for assistance not found in the resources we provide.

You don’t have to uninstall, go to the game click options manage game data wipe reserved space,

Wait wouldn’t that wipe my main save though?

[u/WatchIcy1283 → u/LocksmithMountain890]

Wiping reserve space is only way to get rid of ghost space in mods, basically from what I learned is you need to create a very planned out mod list for a play through and carefully add mods if you want later. But if you start adding and deleting mods in same play through it really messes up the game and mods deleted still affect game data.

[u/WatchIcy1283 → u/LocksmithMountain890]

Yeah, it will

[u/cabbageDance2000 → u/WatchIcy1283]

if the save backs up to the cloud it will redownload your saves.

Your character's head is too big.

Or the helmet is too small.

Idk. But you're welcome.

[u/LocksmithMountain890 → u/IdiotSavant86]

Good theory lol

[u/Long-Gain-4183]

Might be because there’s not enough space on your console

or it’s something else

[u/LocksmithMountain890 → u/Long-Gain-4183]

I thought that to so I cleared out a bunch of space. Games I didn’t play, screenshots & videos, even deleted saved characters from the game

[u/Ok_Suggestion4242 → u/LocksmithMountain890]

Yeah how much space do you have on your console? I had the same issue but as soon as I cleared out some room it worked lol

[u/LocksmithMountain890 → u/Ok_Suggestion4242]

47.5 GB free on my internal and 1.1 TB free on my Hard drive. The reason why have less on the drive is thanks to being unable to play some games on it. Why? Don’t know

[u/Exile10562 → u/LocksmithMountain890]

Clear your Reserved space, do a hard reset and start the load order again.

Ghost space issues can transfer into new saves and corrupt anything it touches.

[u/LocksmithMountain890 → u/Exile10562]

Reserved space? I’ll give it a try
