Is there a capture (screenshot) limit, and can I restore captures that were automatically...

Hi HTWretched, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

This is strange, the console does not delete local screenshots.

Did you console crash or lost power during this game session?

The limit is for upload:

"You can upload up to 10 GB of captures to the Xbox network.

Once you reach that limit, you’ll need to delete existing captures to upload new ones.

Captures that aren’t uploaded to the Xbox network will remain on the console where they were recorded."

Have you tried to look for them on your Xbox App?

Launch the Xbox app on your iOS or Android device.

At the bottom of the screen, select My Library > Captures.

Hey Doh67.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. There are some limitations on screenshots and video capturing.

• You can upload up to 10 GB of captures to Xbox Live. Once you reach those limits, the oldest captures will be removed as you save new ones (first in, first out).

• Any game clip or screenshot uploaded to Xbox Live that gets no views in 30 days will be deleted. Viewing it yourself counts as a view, and saves a capture from deletion.

• Captures you don't upload to Xbox Live will remain on the console they were recorded on.

• Xbox One consoles hold up to 800 MB of screen shots and 8 GB of game clips. Once you reach those limits, the oldest captures will be removed when you save new captures (first in, first out).

That might be the reason for your current issue.

How are you?

You can upload up to 10 GB of captures to the Xbox network. Once you reach those limits, you’ll need to delete existing captures to upload new ones.

Any game clip or screenshot uploaded to the Xbox network that gets no views in 30 days will be deleted. Viewing it yourself counts as a view and saves a capture from deletion.

Captures that don't get uploaded to the Xbox network will remain on the console they were recorded on.

You can also store your screenshots and videos on your PC, OneDrive, and your phone.

You can use OneDrive. You get 5GB of storage for free.

In the capture settings on the console, you can set it so that captures are automatically uploaded to OneDrive if you like. You can also manually upload multiple captures to OneDrive at once via the Captures app. Also, you can upload an individual capture to OneDrive via the Share menu.

Once uploaded, screenshots will appear in the Pictures\Xbox Screenshots folder inside your OneDrive folder, and videos will appear in Videos\Xbox Game DVR.

Try deleting some captures off of your consoles Internal drive after you upload them to the cloud.

You could also connect an external drive, formatted as the capture location for all your captures.

I think you only have limited space on the internal drive for captures, clips, screenshots etc. and once the limit is reached older captures are overwritten by newer ones.
