No, your profile isn't on the drive. Any games that you downloaded would be, but that doesn't matter they won't be able to play them unless they have their own license

thanks for the speedy response, really appreciate it. Would you happen to know if i had any apps/games that weren't linked to my xbox account such as roblox or youtube, would these keep my account on them?

If it supports cloud data then usually it stores that account info as a footnote in your cloud saves so unless you have no room when you log on or if your game doesn't support cloud saves(or you delete all cloud data) info is stored, but most of the time(including these two apps) they support direct link so even if you hack into Xbox servers and delete all cloud data(note I do not encourage doing this, this is for a example) if a app has external accounts and sends it to their servers they will see you are linked to x account and log on even if you wipe your entire cloud storage and all hard drives on all consoles you are logged in to.
Although if a game has external log in and deleting data clears that, logging in should fix it, unless the account was entirely local.
