Xbox – Is it possible to reset the Skyrim save counter on XBox 360

I'm a bit OCD, and was wondering if there's any way to reset the save game counter in Skyrim for 360. After each save, even overwrites, it increments the number of the save file. Having saves 130, 267, 489, and 901 is… perplexing for someone with mild OCD tendencies like me, lol. I realize this is somewhat of a "first world" gaming problem, but still.

So has anyone figured out if it's possible to reset the save game number in Skyrim?

There is a way to reset the save file counter on the xbox, but it probably won't be much help to you if you want to keep your current progress. The only way I know of to reset the save counter on xbox360:

  1. Delete all save files.
  2. Exit to dashboard.
  3. Load up the game.
  4. Start new game.

In a nutshell, if you don't mind losing your progress, the above steps will help you. However, if you want to retain your progress, resetting the save counter won't be possible, as moving the save file you want to a usb stick, following the above steps and moving it back will just cause the counter to continue from where that save file last counted to.
