Why do all of my recent captures on Xbox keep on disappearing

It's not related to the update.

The Xbox console has only a limited amount of reserved space for captures, so if that limit is reached, new captures will "push out" older captures.

If you wish to keep certain captures permanently, you need to use Upload Studio to upload your captures to OneDrive for example.

Then why is it that when i went to look at the recent captures that ive made over the last few days, the only captures i have were from over a year ago?? Where are all of my recent captures? Even the captures i had posted to my activity feed are gone

I did record others recently but they just disappeared and didnt stay on my hard drive or upload to xbox live. They just didnt exist at all. I had my privacy set to upload automatically all captures by me. Im wondering if they're stuck in limbo somewhere
causing theost recent clip to not be able to upload?

If the clips are not on the console or in Microsoft's cloud, unfortunately it will not be possible to retrieve them.

The ideal thing to prevent this from happening again is to use an external HD as media only for captures.

Hope I helped, see you soon!

I do own the app. Captures will not delete from there either.

The captures also do a cycle where it shows all the “deleted attempts” and won’t delete, then it’ll show no old clips I’m trying to delete (it’ll show any recent clips I’ve tried to add) and that’s when it allows me to upload. It also will show all my old clips and screenshots and when I go into recently captures, it shows the most recently added captures to Xbox live. Right now, it is showing 101 clips and when I click on recently captures, it shows the 4 I managed to slip on to Xbox live only. It’ll eventually revert to the 101 clips and not show the most recent ones.

This issue could be caused by several factors, including a software bug or network connectivity problems. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Restart your Xbox: Sometimes, restarting your Xbox can resolve the issue and fix any temporary software bugs that might be causing the problem.

Clear the cache: Clearing the cache on your Xbox can help resolve any temporary glitches that might be causing the problem. To do this, press the Xbox button on your controller, go to System > Settings > System > Storage > Clear local saved games.

Check network connectivity: Make sure your Xbox is connected to a stable internet connection. You can check your network status by going to System > Settings > Network > Network settings.

Try resetting the Xbox: If the previous steps don't resolve the issue, you can try resetting your Xbox to its factory default settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all data on your Xbox, including games, apps, and saved data. To reset your Xbox, go to System > Settings > System > Console info & updates > Reset console.

Contact Xbox Support: If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can contact Xbox Support for further assistance. They can help you diagnose and resolve any technical issues with your Xbox.
