Xbox One Fortnite Save the World – How to Reset or Delete Progress

First you need to enable cloud saves:

1. From the Xbox Dashboard, go to Settings, and then select System.
2. Select Storage, and then select Cloud Saved Games.
3. Select Enable Cloud Saved Games.

Once you do this, you will be prompted on startup for most games which save device to use, in the same way you would be prompted if you had external storage plugged into your box.

Then you need to move save games (if they already exist)

1. Sign into your Xbox LIVE profile.
2. Go to Settings, and then select System.
3. Select Storage.
4. Select the storage device that contains the saved game that you want to move to the cloud.
5. Select Games.
6. Select the game with your saved game.
7. Select your saved game.
8. Select Move.
9. Select Cloud Saved Games.

Keep in mind that space is limited to 512 MB (but in my experience that has never been an issue). I use this capability a lot to go between consoles - it is convenient.

I found a line in the xbox support docs that is, at least for me, inaccurate. It says the xbox will check for updates in the "off" state (instant-on low power state), which happens every time I shut the xbox down at night. However, that's not working.

What I figured out after reading this, and some trial and error, was that I have my Xbox set to "never turn off automatically", and for some reason, this turns off the auto downloading. Despite the fact that the docs say it should work regardless of that particular setting's value, as long as you turn your console off once in a while (which I do), I wasn't seeing downloads come through.

But, after switching my console to turn off after 6 hours of inactivity, uninstalling an update, and turning the console off manually, I am now seeing the update download automatically in the "off" state, as well as in the background after starting the console.
