Xbox deleted my important saved clip

When on the Xbox One home screen press the menu button and go to settings, then preferences, and uncheck where it says "record clips with game DVR." Saved clips can be found and deleted in the Upload app, not Upload Studio though. Highlight clips in the
"saved clips" section, press the menu button, then choose delete.

Hello XBF John,

First, thank you for your reply. So what I'm gathering is that even though my clips are off the Xbox network, and saved on my external hard drive, they are still subject to deletion? Why even give the option to store game clips to external drives if they will just be deleted anyway? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this option?Also,

"Viewing it yourself counts as a view and saves a capture from deletion."

This does not apply to me because I've viewed my own clips several times and they still auto-delete.

I'll just save myself the headache and store them locally from now on.

I think this might be the new normal

Because for years gaming clips saved on my Xbox internal drive never deleted until I did it my self

I know on Xbox Live it would delete

Unless you save the clips they get deleted to save space

I'm having the same problem on the One S. First i thought of giving it some memory space and deleted one clip. The clip would not delete. today it shows up as a thumbnail-less clip that can't be played. I can't upload any videos, the xbox tells me it's uploading
and it tells me the clip has been uploaded to live, but when i check theres nothing there. On the mobile App I get the notification that a clip has been uploaded and I can view the clip on my phone, but if I try to share or save the clip it says a problem
occurred. As soon as I leave the clip page, it disappears from the captures tab on the app. The clip I deleted on my xbox doesn't show up on my Mobile App, thats a good thing.
