You are already the commissioner of 20 leagues bug. Madden NFL 25 X1

So I just finished the achievements for the Xbox Series version of Madden 25 and am now on the Xbox One version. All I have left are the max rank achievements. Part way into it, I get hit with the "You are already the commissioner of 20 leagues. Please delete a franchise before creating a new one" bug. Problem is I have been retiring after each round of Face of the Franchise, and deleted all of my old Franchises, the error still persists.

Apparently on the older Madden games, you had the option to go to your cloud directly and delete from there, but not in the more recent games. Deleting on the game apparently only deletes locally and not on the cloud. As a result, I have no way of getting rid of those cloud files that are apparently still lingering.

So, is there any chance of another way of deleting those files or has nearly 50% of the game become unplayable for me and there's nothing I can do about it. Tried talking with an EA agent yesterday and they were of almost no help at all.

Oh, and to boot this has allegedly been a known issue since this and the NCAA game came out 8 months ago, and this near game-breaking bug is still occurring.
