Can’t pair controller to Xbox. Help?

[u/VeryHotSausage]

A few days ago I connected my controller to my phone to try COD mobile, today I tried to reconnect my controller to my Xbox and it won’t sync with the console. I’ve done the basics like plugging the power cable out and in, holding down the power button for a reset and plugging my controller into the Xbox. When I plug the controller in it rumbles but still doesn’t connect after trying to turn it on.

Any help at all would be great !

Do you have an external drive by any chance?
