Conclusion
A factory reset will CLEAR / ERASE all saved games, accounts, and settings. I would advise that you sync your account with Xbox Live so that most things are a backup. The best part about the Xbox One console (also Xbox One X) is that the automatic syncing with Xbox Live is connected to the service, so you don’t have to worry if you sync with Xbox Live from time to time.
However, if you are one of those players who has not connected to Xbox Live for a while, I would recommend that you connect to Xbox Live before starting the factory restore process.
