Hi, And-drew my name is oskayra, and will be a pleasure help you

Don't worry, I'm here to help! It sounds like you've encountered a bug with your video gallery after deleting some captures directly. I've got some troubleshooting steps that might fix the issue:

1. Restart your device: This can sometimes clear temporary glitches that might be causing the gallery to malfunction. Simply turn your device off and on again, or perform a forced restart if necessary.

2. Clear cache and data: App caches and data can sometimes get corrupted and lead to issues like this. Try clearing the cache and data of both the Gallery app and the app you use to capture videos (e.g., Game Bar, Camera app).

3. Rescan your storage: Your device might not have properly registered the changes you made to the Captures folder. Go to your storage settings and trigger a rescan of your internal storage or the drive where your captures are located.

4. Check for updates: Make sure you have the latest updates installed for your device's operating system and the apps involved. Outdated software can sometimes introduce bugs.

5. Manual refresh: Some galleries have a manual refresh option that can force them to reload the media database. Look for this option within the gallery settings or try closing and reopening the app.

6. Move the captures: If the videos are still stuck in the Captures folder, try moving them to a different location on your storage. This can sometimes force the gallery to recognize the change and update its database.

7. Re-import the captures: If all else fails, you can try re-importing the videos from the Captures folder back into the gallery. This will create new copies in the gallery, hopefully bypassing the bug affecting the originals.

Bonus tip: If you have access to another device, try copying the captures there and see if they display properly in its gallery. This can help isolate the issue to your specific device or the gallery app.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

I have a simular issue. I accidentally deleted my "Captures" folder. And now all my captures are being saved to '\AppData\Local\Temp'

I want I created a new Captures folder in my videos, however all my screenshots and video captures are still being saved in 'Temp'

Have you tried changing your gallery folder path? I would suggest you to please move it to another location, restart your computer and see if the issue persists.

I don't know why, but it did help! When I moved it to another localization it opened and I was able to open the gallery but it was stuck on loading things but when I closed the game bar by spamming win+G I moved all the screenshots and videos from that captures folder to another and now it opens without any troubles!

any captures will be in the captures folder under video, you don't need to look for them in the gamebar

I did exactly as this link shows, but redirecting to a slave drive's root.

The difference is, I didn't create a new folder on the separate drive before clicking ok. Somehow that made the real Captures folder go into the abyss.

The capture folder is now completely missing. It cannot be located, and every time I re-open the game bar now it has decided to place where captures are saved in a different odd place. It went from the root of the slave drive of where I tried to move the captures
folder to, to the Videos folder, to the temp folder, and now to the system recovery partition. It's acting weird. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game bar. No change.
