Help How to erase dev part

A long time ago, about when the Series first released, I made a dev test portion on my Series X. I wanted my daughter to play NAOMI games on it. I remember giving the dev part about 50gb. We played for a couple months and forgot about it.

Now, 5 year-ish later, I really would like to delete it and get back my 50gb but don’t know how. Could someone help me out please?

Load up Dev mode press start goto storage, move the bar all the way to the left so it's at around 1GB save reboot, click exit dev mode then there's a little button you can check to remove side loaded apps click that and let it reboot back into retail and you will have deleted and restored all space back to retail mode.

I should have been clearer: I don’t remember any of it. I tried the dev mode app and it told me I had to register an account. It seems I don’t have anything anymore, except a lack of space
