How long do unedited/unsaved clips and pics last?

I've been wondering this for a while and can't find any solid information on it, some people say 30 days, some say it's based on hard drive storage (which would make more sense.

Ive got clips and pictures saved from over 80 days ago, which are my oldest but some are gone. So can anyone please give me the right info please! Thanks =)

How to turn off automatic downloading clips

How do I turn off the automatic clips without completely turning off the DVR capabilities. And also how long do unsaved videos last in upload because the game has totally spammed my video library

 

EDITED and SAVED Upload Clips from a MONTH ago all the way back to ALMOST LAUNCH DAY GONE!

Never had to post here before, rarely had issues with my 360 or my One that couldn't be solved by google or troubleshooting, but I could only find one other person with this issue, and it was a reddit post with no replies.

I've had my Xbox One since the December after launch, never had any real issues with it, occasional mic breaking and I had to send my Kinect in once to get repaired. This however is very heartbreaking for me, as I discovered when I went to Upload today,
that all but my last 42 'captures' were GONE. Yes, they were EDITED, yes they were SAVED, all were NAMED as well, all things that keep the clips from being deleted automatically according to Upload and Xbox Live. I had a lot of clips, over 150 saved and edited,
might have been even closer to 200, was at 95% Upload hard drive capacity last time I checked. That being said, even the edited clips I had from the day I got my Xbox were still there as of two weeks ago, even with all the unsaved auto recorded clips from
Battlefield, Magic, and Madden being recorded constantly. At one point at I had 175 saved and edited clips and over a 100 auto recorded unsaved clips, and still nothing was auto deleted or vanished.

Yet, I was heartbroken to see all of them GONE when accessing Upload today, not a single edited named clip remaining, only 42 unsaved ones. I know they were there as of 03/10/15, as I had recorded a GTA V heist clip and edited it that day, still had all
my edited and saved clips, was at 95% space used for Upload. What is even more strange is that the edited version of that GTA clip is gone, but the unedited version is still there amongst the 42 clips.

Not all were uploaded to OneDrive sadly (I had issues with this during the first few months of Xbox one, so I only recently started uploading to OneDrive within the last 6 months). The only reason I had gotten on upload today was to start backing up more
of them to OneDrive in order to make room for new stuff...well there is room now, although it is terrible that it happened this way. The 14 clips that I did upload to OneDrive are still there, meaning I'm not crazy and I did actually have clips edited and
saved, but on the console, Upload says I have no clips saved or edited, just those 42 unedited clips. One other curious note, I had a friend on his account check my clips to see what he could see, he can't even get to my clips, and when checking on smart glass,
it says I have none, not even the 42 unedited clips.

Lesson learned I guess, but I don't understand how this could have happened. There was no warning, it never happened before, and there was seemingly no reason for it to occur. The only possible explanation is too many unsaved clips caused Upload to auto
delete, but after they added the ability to do multiple clip selection and deletion, I was pretty good about deleting all those auto clips to keep it from cluttering up. Not to mention, Upload is only suppose to auto delete unsaved, unedited clips, not saved
and edited ones, according to the Help snap in the app. The only other thing that has changed since 03/10/15, is that Upload seemed to have gotten an update; when you go to access your clips, it now says My Captures, not My Clips (it still said My Clips on
03/10/15). This update may have caused my edited and saved clips to vanish, either by weird glitch or cloud disconnect.

Has anyone else had this issue? Given the lack of topics or posts elsewhere of this subject, it seems unlikely, but I would advise everyone check their Upload clips just in case!!! I really hope there is a fix for this, or that it is a cloud saving issue
when Microsoft updated Upload, and that they will reappear at some point. I'm never going to stop being an Xbox gamer, love the console, the service, and games, but this is the first issue I've had where I am really saddened and disappointed with something
on Xbox Live. There are a lot of memories in those clips, for me and my friends who are in them, and I would really love to have them back so I can back them up properly. Hope to hear back from somebody soon, and really hope that my saved and edited clips
are just tucked away in the cloud somewhere.
