Xbox captures on xbox live not deleting

See if they are still available in the hard drive. (Captures Menu - Filter for "Saved in console")

The best is to explain how works the capture system in xbox one. When you capture a screenshot or a clip the first thing that the console do is save locally, in the hard drive and then will automatically (if you have cloud space available) upload to xbox live
server. Even if you delete or xbox live deletes the capture, it will be always available locally in the hard drive.

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.

My one drive is showing no documents or photos or anything in it. I have tried deleting from both Xbox Live and my Xbox but every time I start my Xbox back up all the photos reappear under my xbox live captures but not on "on this xbox" captures section
of the options.

The exact same thing happened me. All my clips, even those viewed at least once before the update rolled in, have all been deleted.

Such a [Mod Removed-Profanity] decision for Microsoft to go through with without properly informing people. What’s even the point of having double the storage space if they’re just going to delete clips anyway.

Three weeks ago, the October update arrived for Xbox One owners. The update added the new avatars, Xbox Skill
for Cortana and Alexa, Dolby Vision video streaming, and new narrator languages. However, Microsoft also wanted to make changes to the GameDVR storage policies at the end of the month, and those changes have arrived this week.

Players now have double the amount of storage space they used to have for Xbox Live Captures. So that players use this space efficiently, Microsoft will now be automatically deleting existing video clips over 90 days old that have no views. Any new
clips recorded from this point onwards will be deleted after 30 days if they haven't got any views. Players can still back up their clips to a virtual drive or external storage before that expiration period, and if you're unsure on how to do this, Microsoft
has provided instructions

Back up your game clips

Because game clips that haven’t had any views or engagement may be deleted at some point, you might want to back up your clips. You can do this from your console or your PC.

Upload captures from Xbox Live to OneDrive from your console

1. Press the Xbox button
   to open the guide, then go to Broadcast & capture.
2. Select Recent captures > See All.
3. Select the list view button on the right to display your captures in a list.
4. Select the check box next to the captures you want to upload.
5. Select the Upload to OneDrive button to begin uploading.

Upload captures from Xbox Live to Google Drive from your PC

1. Open the Xbox app on your PC.
2. Sign in to the app using your Microsoft account.
3. Select the Captures icon on the left menu panel.
4. Select On Xbox Live to view captures you’ve uploaded to Xbox Live.
5. Select the Download button to download the captures locally to your PC. These will be stored in the Videos folder on your C drive.
6. Upload your local files to Google Drive or another storage location.

Record captures directly to an external drive from your console

Note Captures recorded to an external drive can’t be uploaded to Xbox Live from your console. To upload from an external drive to Xbox Live, follow the steps for uploading from a PC.

1. Plug a USB 3.0 (or faster) drive into your console.
   
   Note The USB drive must be formatted as NTFS. You can’t use the same drive that games are installed on, which is formatted differently.
2. Press the Xbox button
   to open the guide.
3. Go to System > Settings > System >
   Storage.
4. Go to your external drive and select Set as capture location.
5. Your game clips and screenshots will be recorded to your external drive. To revert, set your internal drive as your capture location.
