    How do I get back my Captures folder?


    I wanted to save my game bar videos on my HDD instead of my SSD, but I messed up and now I don't have a Captures folder in my Videos folder, which means that all videos recorded with the game bar are now saved directly in the videos folder.

    Why can't they just make everything simpler instead of having to do weird stuff like cutting the Captures folder, etc?

    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    :)

    How do I get back my Captures folder?

    Hi! Are you talking about PC or Xbox?

    If you can't find the folder by entering the HDD, you can still use an external app to download your clips from your account

    How do I get back my Captures folder?

    I'm talking about my PC, I selected Xbox because the problem has to do with the Xbox Game Bar.

    I installed windows on my 240 GB SSD, and have a 1 TB HDD to save stuff like videos, etc.

    I accidentally deleted the "Captures" folder, which is in the Videos folder. And I don't know how to get it back, I can't get it back from the reciclying bin because I deleted it permanently.

    How do I get my expired captures back?

    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.

    Hello, TrippCollins. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    You can just copy and paste the Captures folder to the drive you want. As soon as you move the Captures folder, Game Bar will start to save your captures there.

    To see exactly where it is being saved now, go to Start > Settings (the gear icon) > Gaming > Captures. Click on "Open folder".

    Feel free to ask back any question and please let me know how it goes.
