Hello all.

If you are like me, you may have noticed that on Xbox, you are unable to remove the ME1 endgame import file. This is the file that allows you to replay ME1 using a previous playthrough, or import an ME1 character into ME2.

The facts: These files are NOT contained in the Mass Effect folder on your Xbox hard drive, they are not related to any career or profile files in the Mass Effect folder. These files are invisible and hidden in their own section - they cannot be accessed through the normal menu system. Deleting your Mass Effect folder does NOT remove them. The only option so far has been to reformat the drive.

I have discovered, by accident, a way to access these files and remove them from your hard drive - permanently

Additionaly, it has been stated that the only way to import your files into Mass Effect 2 is to use the same Hard Drive you used to complete ME1. This is not true. Using the feature below you can transfer the files to a new Hard Drive and they will still be recognized. I have performed this procedure on my own Xbox and can verify that both the removal of the files or transfer to a different hard drive are both possible.

NOTICE: This proccess involves a COMPLETE WIPE of ALL the import files from your hard drive. There is no way to pick and choose which ones to keep or transfer. This guide will also require you to go into the System Menu and work with your hard drive memory. Do NOT proceed if you are uncomfortable with working with the menus. I am not responsible for any lost data on your Xbox if you make a mistake.

Proceed at your own discretion!

What is required: a 1 gb (or larger) flash drive.

Steps:
1. Insert your flash drive into the USB port on the 360.
2. Go into System Options - choose Memory. Select the USB Memory Device icon.
3. The 360 will prompt you that it needs to set up the drive for 360 storage. Select "Configure Now"
NOTE: This will FULLY ERASE the flash drive. Make sure you have no important data before proceeding.
Wait for the flash drive to be formatted - the system will alert you when it is finished.
4. Go back to the Memory menu. Move the "cursor" over Hard Drive. Do not press the A button to go into the Hard Drive. Instead, press Y to open the Device Options menu.
5. Select Transfer Content.
6. Select the Flash Drive as your destination drive.
7. You will now be at a menu displaying all data on your hard drive. Towards the bottom, there will be a folder marked "Publisher Data" - this is the invisible folder containing the import files. Underneath the name it should list the number of items in the folder "X out of X selected" - this number should be the number of import files on your hard drive. To check, open the folder, the file there should have the name of your Shepard, and level. For example - Colleen Shepard Level 50. For some reason, it will only show one file in the list - that's fine.
8. In the list of all Hard Drive content, deselect everything but the "Publisher Data" folder. Do this by pushing X on all the folders. If you have deselected the folder it will say "0 out of X selected" under the folder name. You want a 0 on everything but the Publisher Data folder.
9. Move the cursor to the right and select Start. This will transfer the import files to the Flash Drive.
NOTE: Anything still selected will be transfered to the Flash Drive. Double check you only have the "Publisher Data" folder selected before hitting Start.
10. At this point you have two choices:
Keep the data on the flash drive for later use. (Skip ahead to step 14)
Delete the files. (Continue reading).
11. Go back to the Memory menu.
12. Place your "cursor" over the flash drive - press Y.
13. Choose "Remove 360 Data". This will reformat the flash drive.
14 Remove the flash drive.
15. There are two ways to check the files are gone - using either ME1 or ME2. Insert either game. With Mass Effect 1 - choose "Start Game" from the main menu. At the Profile Reconstruction menu, there should only be two options - "John Shepard" and "Enter New ID". Using ME2 choose "New Game" and "Import a ME1 Character". The importer should come up blank.
NOTE: If the files are still appearing, make sure the flash drive has either been reformatted or removed.
16. If all you are attempting to do is delete the files, stop reading here. If you are attempting to transfer them, continue.
17. Insert the flash drive into the xbox with the target hard drive attached.
18. Go into System Menu.
19. Select Memory.
20. Move the "cursor" over the flash drive - press Y to open the Device Options menu.
21. Select Transfer Content.
22. Select Hard Drive as the destination drive.
23. By default, the "Program Data" folder should be selected. Simply hit Start to transfer the files.
24. Use the method described in step 15 to check that the files are appearing on your hard drive.

Congratulations - you have removed or transferred your ME1 endgame files from your Hard Drive! Note, that if you choose to keep the files on your flash drive, the import function in Mass Effect 1 and 2 WILL recognize them!

Sweet. Glad someone figured this out, my list was getting rather long. xD

Can anyone tell me if this method will wipe achievement progress as well. I had deleted achievements due to playing offline and recovering my GT on another xbox. I can no longer get the achievements that were removed from my GT, they include: 150 organic/250 synthetic killls, 75% paragon, 1 million creds, "complete the majority of the game" achievement and 150 kills with the pistol.

I heard from a user on x360a website that they tried deleting all their files in the hard drive for mass effect and cleared the system cache and it still did not fix the problem, so im hoping this might work but wondering if anyone can confirm it before i delete my profile data.

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm surprised such an annoying problem had such an easy solution.

so let me get this straight, if i have a level 50 & a level 60, you mean to tell me that i can't delete my level 50 without deleting my level 60... that is gay

so this means you can send the import files over to the flash while keeping the actual save files on the harddrive, then proceed to delete the import files? then afterwards can you just play with the latest save game file before the final mission to complete it with the level 60 character to just have one import file?
