I went to load a new tune and got this error: You have too many saves of this file type. Please delete some from the file manager before saving any more.
Questions:
How can I see how many tune saves I have?
What is file manager? I went to settings - storage but you cannot see specific file types there.
So, my only fiix currently is to get in a car I don’t care about, go to “my tunes” and delete the tunes to make room.
Is there an easier way?
This is a major pain. 500 tunes is way too few and yes you have to navigate to each one to delete it. No there is no way of seeing which tunes you have. Probably my biggest gripe about the game.
Thanks. I find it extremely odd that the error message requests that I “delete some from file manager” yet there is no file manager.
file manager is my tunes get in the car goto my tunes and delete on every car u have put a tune on pass it on
The easiest solution would be to just have a my tunes tab that actually showed all of your tunes. It the way the my designs tab and my decals tab work. It’s just another issue that keeps this game down. They could always offer a button press option to show only tunes for current vehicle as well. No one knows why they make these bone headed decisions besides them, and they aren’t talking…
This was not a problem in forza 3 and forza 4 because those two forza’s had the right stuff going for them, tune file wise.
I have the same problem with paint.Freezes it upwhen you try to change the colour back too.PAINFUL
I also now encountered the same problem in FM6. I’m running out of tunes to delete. I don’t think I even have close to 500, if that’s the limit. Before this happen I believe the game tried to sync tunes from Forza 5 and FH2 without really asking me, and was a long process I had to wait through, in the end I didn’t see any tunes from those versions, but wonder if it messed things up. Do I have to buy cars to see their tunes from previous version? Before I got message I have removed FM5 and FH2 to make room for other games, do I have to reinstall these to delete tunes from there for more space in FM6??? I cant believe this is an issue when I have plenty of disk space!!!
Why didn’t we run into this problem in Forza 2 - 4? I ran into it in Forza 5 and was amazed.
I think it’s something to do with the cloud saves, not a lot of room up there?.
^ this. Its been going on since FM5 and still an unresolved issue.
True, and now that we’re slowly moving towards purely online cloud storage with the next 2versions of Xboxs, the Xbox One Slim due in August 2016 and the Scorpio in September 2017.
With their introduction, we’ll be far more reliant on all cloud storage. As both machines will now be totally synched with the cloud and tied in with Win10, which is also cloud based storage for quite a few games already.
Now, if we look at this reasonably, but Ne would assume that a company as LARGE as MS and with server farms spread across multiple nations worldwide, that they could harness huge amounts of storage. Apple offers all customers huge amounts of iCloud storage already for free. It also offers them more storage if they want greater storage.
MS could do the same, and it would be great if they’re offer it for free initially, like Apple did several yrs ago.
Cloud storage can be stored expediently across several countries. It’s how Apple and Toshiba do it.
By the year 2017 once Scorpio is released, many games that are locked into MS will only offer their games via online purchase and digital downloads. So this increases game file sizes, and uses up the HDD space, forcing gamers to have to have their entire game saves, tunes, liveries, progress, within the cloud storage.
Even movies right now can NOT be played from your own external HDD if you have them saved to that privately owned HDD, even if they storage is within the actual Xbox.
If you drill down into your purchased movies files that you’ve purchased as your own property, you WILL NOT find any form of actual movie file that you can play.
You must be connected to the net, and you must be logged into your gamertag if you want to play a movie you purchased at say a friends place, if it was say stored on a Segate HDD.
Making the whole service mute really.
It forces you to be connected at all times, it deprives you the rights of ownership to play a movie or game you purchased without being connected and using their own proprietary software.
This is where the industry is heading, and we really have no say I. It other than to either choose not to buy or play games or movies, or, pay MS their fees to play your own property.
And in fact, if you read their fine print, their caveats state that you are not the owner of said movie or game, but simply paying for the rights to play it…nothing more!
I have the same problem with replays 
Its all due to being linked with this Cloud (Add your own word/words here in your mind). They limit the size of the saves and we are unable to access our own saves with this Cloud stuff. They should have avoided the cloud and let us use the space on our Xbox one internal or if you have an external HDD to use space and we could have a lot more stuff on it than the cloud.
I agree wholeheartedly mate. And here’s the OS thing.
If you BUY a movie from XboxLives Movie & TV selection, you’re given he choice to either, Stream the movie live, which is a nightmare in many areas in Australia still?.. Or save the movie in either SD or HD to either your Xbox HDD, (be it your 360 or Xbox1) or an external HDD, or on their Cloud.
So, we’re given the choice to save a whole 7gig HD movie (1.9-2.5 approx in SD) to the Cloud, our Xbox (360 or XB1) or our own External HDD, but we are for some unknown reason, unable to save any more than 20 odd pics, or 10 replays, or even game files such as liveries, tunes or our car collections, to our Xbox’s or external drives.
File sizes which take up far less storage than ONE single HD movie that you BUY.
So why is it that we can’t store our tunes, liveries etc.?
Simple really … Because we aren’t paying for the space by buying it via a movie purchase etc.
I’ve given up buying my movies from Xbox Live because as mentioned in a previous post, we are NOT ALLOWED to play our own property when and where we want to.
You must have a Xbox connected, an Internet connection that you’re paying money for, and only then are you allowed to play your own property that you’ve purchased in good faith.
They have the space for 7gig HD movies on the cloud, but no room for much smaller file sizes like tunes and liveries.
If anyone has an answer for that, then please share it, as I’m sure there’s thousands of ppl wanting to know more.

And on top of that you have a HUGE chance of loosing your save data and having to start over again. Ive had this happen to me on FM5 and FH2 a couple of times and its not fun. You have a bigger chance of loosing your save data from the cloud than you would if it where on your Hard drive. I would rather my self have control over my own saves 24/7 than someone watching them over the cloud.
True, it certainly not fun loosing all your data, race saves, and personal favourites and liveries that you may well have put hours into.
Offering the user the option to save on either an external USB HDD, or the Xboxs own internal HDD, one would think that if they can do that for movies and even music purchased off a box Lives Movies section, like they currently do remember, then offering the gamer the opportunity to save their own files onto the xbox’s HDD or an external HDD is definitely possible. Because they offer it now…but for huge movie file sizes.
I have over 50 movies, several are full sized HD version, but now I only buy the SD versions. The file sizes are much smaller, 2 gig compared to 7.5 for most HD movies. Playing SD on an 4K UHDTV has its advantages, as they are upscale six times, so they look very nice on such a huge screen.
But back to files sizes. If we are currently offered the choice to save wherever we want, then why can’t we choose the same options for our game saves, tunes or any game files.
Perhaps even offering say a premium service where you pay a little extra for the ability to save OFF the cloud, that could give them another revenue stream, and give gamers far more options regarding their personal game files.
Thoughts… .

I got a similar problem many months ago where my VIP gifted cars had their livery destroyed upon downloading the gifted car even though I have way fewer tunes/paints/designs than 500. Probably about 50 tunes, 2 paints downloaded and none of my own nor any designs since I’m not a painter. Yet there is obviously still another issue that pops up these annoying limit messages.
I PM’ed both Triton and Mechberg several times about it, I posted the problem in great detail in the bug report forum but Turn 10 just can’t be bothered to fix the problem or send me the gifted VIP cars again.
Support in this game is close to nothing.
Limits to the amount of liveries you can have on gifted cars you download…
Limits to the number of cars in your garage…
I suggest the title of this game gets changed to Forza Motorlimits 7 for the next instalment.
So to get back to the issue
There is no way to batch delete tunes, or even delete all tunes?
Also if u have bought a car, downloaded a few tune and then sold the car, will i have to rebuy that car to delete the tunes or do they get deleted when i sell the car?
I’m considering resetting my account, as i don’t really care about all the credits, badges and rewards, but will miss all my liveries and paintjobs
Yes you will have to rebuy the car. In Fm5 I spent 2 hours going through my tunes and probably only found about 30 I could delete. I have know Idea where some of my slot were used on, because I had probably deleted the car.
