How to Drop Items in Skyrim on Xbox 360: Workarounds Since There's No Drop Button

Skyrim on Xbox 360 has no "Drop" button in the inventory UI. You cannot simply throw an item on the ground.

Two Reliable Workarounds

1. Container Transfer (Best for Junk):
   1. Open any container (chest, barrel, wardrobe, dead body)
   2. Highlight the item → press A to move it into the container
   3. Leave the container; item stays there (most reset after 10–30 in-game days, some are permanent)
2. Give to Follower / NPC (For Valuables You Want to Keep Accessible):
   1. Command follower ("I need you to do something" → "Trade items")
   2. Transfer item to their inventory
   3. They carry it indefinitely (weight counts toward their limit)

Notes

• Quest items (weight 0, cannot drop) are unsolvable — they auto-remove on quest completion
• PC version: Press ~ → player.drop 1 or use console "drop" command
• Mods (Xbox One/Series only): "Drop Item" mod adds the missing button
