Skyrim players baffled by hidden chest we weren't supposed to find

Another mystery solved

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may have been first released back in 2011 but that doesn’t mean players are not still stumbling across new features even to this day.

This year sees The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim celebrate its 13th anniversary and despite its age, dedicated fans still flock to the hit RPG for regular replays.

Check out the official trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim below!

It is during these replays that newly discovered secrets are found which shows that despite its age, there is still tons more to find.

That is what recently happened to one player who took to r/skyrim to share their discovery.

In a screenshot of their in-game inventory, we can see a regular looking chest simply called ‘Do Not Delete’.

“What is the ‘Do Not Delete’ chest? I bought it from a merchant. I'm on PS5,” they wrote.

It wasn’t long before knowledgeable fans flocked to the post to share their knowledge about the mysterious chest but it seems the answer is pretty straightforward.

The chest is usually found within homes and businesses across Skyrim and is in fact counted as a glitch to be found with a merchant.

There are four variations of the chest but they are each used to set your bounty for certain actions that may be performed during the Thieves Guild side quests in Riften.

“Since each action is considered theft by the game, the bounty incurred will always be half of the value of the corresponding Do Not Delete.

Additionally, NPCs will comment on the crime as if it were theft, even if it appears that no item was stolen,” the official Elder Scrolls Wikipedia page explains.

Fans also claim that these chests can be dropped and used as a little boost into otherwise inaccessible areas which is pretty handy considering how much parkour takes place in Skyrim.

So there you have it! Another mystery solved. Now, what’s next?
