A month ago I logged in on Xbox to search for a screenshot I had, just to find about 90% of all my saves deleted, I logged in to my second account just to find the same results. I read that after 90 days saves get deleted and that there is a warning and an icon when the saves are close to deletion. What doesn’t make sense to me is that on both accounts even a month or two prior I had checked saves that were way older than 90 days and didn’t have a warning icon, I’d have checked the same saves at least once every month while searching for specific ones, the saves ranged from this year, last year, 2022 to the oldest which I think were from august 2021. Could anyone explain why this happened? Maybe there was a warning? I remember seeing something about Xbox changing the way saves work but if I’m not wrong there was still a long period of time from when I saw that announcement to when the saves got deleted, maybe the announcement was teasing a future thing. I do not know and am grieving for my precious saves is there anything I could do about it?

There have been warnings many times starting nearly a year ago.
If you didn't move your screenshots to OneDrive before the deadline, then they are simply gone.
