Game clips that get automatically deleted from Xbox Live also delete from my Xbox's local...

Unfortunately captures are automatically deleted from the Xbox network after 90 days now. You could try opening the Captures app and selecting "On this Xbox console" from the drop-down list at the upper-left, as clips are not automatically deleted from the console itself after 90 days, although they do get deleted from there over time as you capture new clips and screenshots. It's worth checking though.

What I do is set the console to automatically upload my captures to both the Xbox network and OneDrive, as they are not automatically deleted from OneDrive and it makes it easy to save any ones that I want to keep on my PC. Unfortunately, you can't share clips uploaded to OneDrive on your profile or via an Xbox message, which is why I upload to both.

But yeah, if your missing clips are not on the console itself and you only uploaded them to the Xbox network, they are gone for good I'm afraid.

Were these clips uploaded to Xbox live or are they meant to be local to your Xbox?

If they are local did you ever factory resetyour Xbox (complete reset)?

Have you checked you are searching locally not on Xbox live as it defaults to Xbox live only

I know if you are uploading to Xbox live sometimes some disappear but it's not usually one game its normally the oldest clips first and ad you have clips from 2 years ago this is unlikely

Did you delete clips from your Xbox after upload as I'm pretty sure this clears the whole clip from both the xbox servers and your xbox, not just the Xbox

I have had multiple game clips deleted or vanished from my xbox local drive as well as on xbox live without me deleting or doing anything. It seems some clips stay forever and a lot eventually go away. Is this supposed to happen and is there any
way I can retrieve those clips or are they gone forever?

you are not the first one today to post this it may be a bug

Hi joelson,

Thanks for your post. Once a clip is deleted, there is no way to recover a deleted clip. For future reference, you can download your clips from Xbox Live to your PC and have them locally if you'd like to clear space on your OneDrive.

I hope this helps.

I am having the same issue. A while ago Microsoft implemented a new policy where screenshots and game clips that are uploaded to the Xbox Network (previously called Xbox Live) will automatically be deleted after 90 days. However, I don't believe that they should delete themselves off the Xbox's local storage as well.
