    Share Button deletion on Xbox consoles


    SHARE BUTTON ON XBOX CONSOLES. I have noticed just today that the “share” icon on screenshots has disappeared when I try to share someone else’s screenshot. It still appears to be there for my own shots, but on any other Xbox user, the button has gone. This not only limits community and club activity, but removes a vital part of sharing and socialising on Xbox which thousands of users are involved in. I myself run a club that has 350+ members and some have 100 times more than that.. Why has this been implemented and what are we, as sharers and gamers, supposed to do now to celebrate our friends shots and clips. Thank you

    :)

    Then follow the steps below:

    Why can't I delete my captures? Xbox series x

    Hi DRAGONKILLER674, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    If that didn't work, please perform a power cycle before deleting them again.

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    Make sure that you're deleting them from the "Xbox Network"

    2. Go to Capture & share, and then select Recent captures > Show all.

    3. Select On the Xbox network in the first dropdown box.

    4. Select the clip you want to delete.

    5. Press the A button, and then select Delete.

    If that still didn't work, you may need to reset your console keeping your games and apps. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

    Select Reset console.

    Reset and keep my games & apps.

    not working

    If you purchased the game on your account and are not game sharing then please try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down.

    If that doesn't work then you may need to delete then reinstall the game.

    Can’t upload or delete captures

    Hey Owen!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

    If I may ask, are you trying to upload or delete captures via Xbox console or via Xbox app?

    Also, may I know when was the last time you attempted to upload and delete captures?

    Kindly give it 24 hours to have it sync in the Xbox Live server, however, if it doesn't work, please perform a power cycle before deleting them again.
