Can I recover my deleted recent captures?

Hi,Michael! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Unfortunately once a capture is deleted it is gone for good.

There is not any kind of back up

I do own the app. Captures will not delete from there either.

The captures also do a cycle where it shows all the “deleted attempts” and won’t delete, then it’ll show no old clips I’m trying to delete (it’ll show any recent clips I’ve tried to add) and that’s when it allows me to upload. It also will show all my old clips and screenshots and when I go into recently captures, it shows the most recently added captures to Xbox live. Right now, it is showing 101 clips and when I click on recently captures, it shows the 4 I managed to slip on to Xbox live only. It’ll eventually revert to the 101 clips and not show the most recent ones.

On your console Home Guide menu select Capture & share > Recent captures >Show all >Manage captures

That will show you your captures you have uploaded to the Xbox network. You can change this to captures on this console to show those captures.

If you change the look on screen to small icons (press 4 squares) you will have other options as well as a delete choice.

Looking at this screen outlay, on console captures will inform you if they have been uploaded to the Xbox network or not.

Captures on the console that have been uploaded to the xbox network can be deleted from the console if you want. Be aware that there is a finite available space on the console for captures that fills up very quickly if you make a lot of clips and/or screenshots.

Uploaded Captures on the xbox network can also be deleted.

I use the sort option and delete captures regularly from both my console and Xbox network to keep my captures manageable.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues recovering your game clips that were automatically deleted.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, once Xbox clips are automatically deleted, they are typically unrecoverable unless they were uploaded to the Xbox network or saved to external storage beforehand.

Please be guided with the following troubleshooting steps:

Check Recent Captures. To do this, press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide. Go to "Capture & share" and then "Recent captures".

If the clip isn't recent, select "Show all" to view all your clips.

And then search Xbox Live cloud storage. If you have cloud storage enabled, log in to your Xbox Live account and check the captures.

Hello!

I have tried numerous times to delete it off of Xbox network. Clips and screenshots delete just fine on the console, but when I go into on this Xbox network, my captures say deleted and then I click back into recent captures and they haven’t been deleted at all. I’ve power cycled the console, tried multiple restarts, yet the clips refuse to permanently delete.
