Why is my Xbox deleting my Clips and Shots from the Internal Storage?

Hi MellatiKa69

Manage storage on xbox console has useful information to assist you.

There is only a limited amount of Internal disc space reserved for capturing clips and screenshots, not the whole 1TB that comes with the console.

If you upload your clips etc to Xbox Live you wont need to keep them on your internal drive.

Alternatively you could set up another external drive, formatted to NTFS, and set your capture location to it. Be aware that capturing clips etc to an external drive means you wont be able to share them to Xbox Live.

Same issue! I lost all the clips on my INTERNAL HDD, not on live.

Why would my clips that Ive had on my INTERNAL HDD be deleted or expire?

Where is the setting for this? Why did this just start?

Repeat, this is not about clips on xbox live, this is about the clips save LOCALLY!

If one of you xbox idiots reply with the known fact that clips on live expire Im jumping off a bridge.

I do not see why the auto recording is a problem for most... it wastes no internal storage like many think... it loops a 5 minute recording... and when it records a clip, it uploads it to the cloud automatically and then deletes itself off of the internal
cache.. i can sit there and repeat record record record that all day and my HDD will NEVER fill up because of it

I have done mutiple power cycles in the past and have even left my console unplugged to no avail. I have around 78gb of storage on the xbox internal drive. I have also tried to delete clips off xbox live but that also doesnt help

Hi I'm very frustrated with this as well! I've recently over the past week been recording hundreds of video clips (Microsoft limits the clips to 4min 1080p on my xbox one s internal 1tb hd and again why?) only to find that all of the clips are gone beyond 1day ago recordings. These clips were recorded to my internal hd and not uploaded to live. I was recording them for myself to be used on my xbox hd and they have been deleted without warning. Why? After some digging I've heard the video has to be viewed to be saved, again why? So my question is how do I know if a game clip is tagged as viewed if I don't see an eye icon on the clip? Do my own views of the clip not count? This is poor software development and I expect better of people operating in 2023. As has been said there should be an option for the auto deletion of game clips if at all. I mean really if someone can't manage their own hd space use maybe they should find another hobby that requires less thought...
