Hi there Forum Community, I recently just lost my 3 year old world to a bug/glitch with Minecraft that says Sync World Data? And then since the world is 2.4 GB, I takes about 17 min. and then at the end of the instillation it says "Failed to Sync World Data", even though It reached 100%. I've already tried to restart my Xbox, unplug it for a couple minutes, reinstall Minecraft, but nothing seems to work. Can you please help? I miss my dog Max and my cat Brownie and my mega base. :(

In your case sadly the world is lost.
To avoid a similar situation in the future try to do regular backups. One per week or one every 15 days. In that way you can restore the backup in case that something happens to the world

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.
Hope you're doing great today despite this QUWEGUYMIN
It seems that you already tried a lot of things. May I know if you tried creating a copy of this world to see if that makes a difference?
If yes and if that doesn't help, unfortunately this means that your world is corrupted
And without a previous backup is not possible to restore it
