If your Xbox 360 is running slowly, or your games are lagging, you may need to clear your HDD (Hard Disk Drive) cache. Clearing the cache gives your Xbox 360 more random data storage area, making your console run faster and complete disk ops much quicker.
Clearing System Cache Under Device Options
Turn on your Xbox 360.
Scroll across to the system tab and select the storage devices option.
Highlight the hard drive or memory unit option (it should say "Hard Drive, 12 GB free", for example).
Press Y for "Device options".
Select "Clear System Cache". The following message should appear: "This will perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage device. Do you want to continue?"
Select "Yes".
Restart your console. You have now cleared your hard drive cache and your Xbox 360 should run faster and have improved game-play on certain games (The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Halo 3, or other games).
Holding A on Startup
Start your Xbox 360.
When it is starting up, hold down A.
This will clear all patches. The Xbox should run faster and have improved gameplay.
