    Hello RegardedGem,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It seems that some of the uploaded captures to your external drive were not showing correctly. Let us check and see on what we can do to help resolve your concern in a timely manner.

    There could be several reasons why some of your captures are not uploading to your external drive. Here are some possible solutions:



    1. Check if the external drive has enough space to accommodate all the captures you want to upload. If the drive is full, you may need to delete some files or transfer them to another storage device.



    2. Make sure that the external drive is formatted correctly. Xbox consoles require external drives to be formatted in NTFS or exFAT file systems. If your drive is not formatted correctly, you may need to reformat it.



    3. Try uploading the captures in smaller batches. Sometimes, uploading too many files at once can cause errors. Try uploading a smaller number of captures at a time to see if that resolves the issue.



    4. Check if there are any corrupted files among the captures that were not uploaded. If there are, you may need to delete them or try repairing them.





    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    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.

    Pictures and videos captured on my console are regularly erased

    There is only a finite space on the console internal drive to store captures.

    To my understanding, if you make a lot of game clips and screenshots that space is quickly used up and any subsequent captures will overwrite the oldest file on the drive if its full. This space is a reserved area in the system area and not the entire drive space.

    If you upload your captures to the Xbox Network and/or OneDrive you can safely delete the captures on the internal drive using Manage captures on xbox console.

    The alternative is to connect a external drive, formatted to NTFS, and change your capture location to the external drive. Be aware that this option doesn't allow sharing on the Xbox Network.
