I have an Xbox 1 S and its starting to break now, i recently had a power outage while playing and the power turned on and off multiple times. This has been going on for about two days where my console takes an overly normal amount of time to boot up and has been on a grey screen for 30 mins before i turned it off and back on again. It is now booting up semi correctly but still taking time and has ended up deleting games then saying for example: Fortnite needs an update. And the size being 93 Gb. My console is still running slow even on the menu, games take about 2-5 minutes just to start booting up after clicking on them. If anyone has a method of fixing this, please do reach out.

Have you performed a full factory reset? You said earlier you "reset" the console but that's ambiguous. It could mean "a power cycle" or it could mean "a factory reset".
As much as it may bother you to lose your installed games, it is possible that formatting the hard drive will cure this. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else would.

I have a portable storage device, so if i unplug that will it get rid of those?
cobalt yarrow
If you unplug the external storage device it won't be affected.

Have you already tried booting the XBOX without the external device attached? A failing external storage device can cause problems I believe.

How old is the external storage device?
cobalt yarrow
I was asking because if you had said it was multiple years old there's a chance it could be failing. I have to warn you though, that in the same way there's a chance the internal storage could be failing. If that's the case then there's nothing I would advise you to do except seek professional repair.

If that does work, what do i do with the drive?

The console is about 5 years old now so that could be it

Oh with the external drive? I'd probably consider reformatting it to see if that fixes the problem first. If it doesn't, then at 4 months old you might be able to get warranty service.
Lets see what happens first though.

OK I didn't think that was likely, but leave the external drive unplugged for now and reset the console.
You'll find that option in the settings menu, but if you need help to find it I can try.
