Not enough space to recover profile....95GB free

I got a new xbox today and used the data transfer kit to copy everything over.

Put the new HDD on the new console, it only had 2 profiles...not my main Xbox live one, so I go to recover it and it says cannot find a storage device or not enough space to recover game tag.

What can I do?

I can't see a way or find a way on google to get my Gametag back

Basically the gamertag was corrupt so it couldn't be recovered.

Go to system settings,

Game profiles

It should list all profiles and your corrupt one,

Select it and delete it, but profile only NOT CONTENT!

Then go back to where you recover your game tag,

Will work

I suspect quite a few people will be asking how you do this
