Played on my world earlier today, logged off for a break, went to go back on and world was gone from list. This world was mine and my kids, we had put substantial time and effort into it and now even checking old version world list it is just gone.

I had the same issue. Really annoying, been playing for a while. Finally started a hardcore world and was making good progress. Went to play it and it has disappeared. Can't see a way it's going to reappear. Extremely disappointed.
I lost 30 worlds of memories just because of this with no way to get them back, really wish they would fix this
Only way i found is to uninstall and reinstall game, unfortunately i think if you load another world and cause a new sync to cloud it will wipe it, but if you do it right away, every world that was last synced will show up.
@Sean
Unfortunately I tried clearing the cache and the uninstall game method but the cloud saves are from older versions of the world. It was probably a local save and me uninstalling it just wiped everything as a whole. My only hope is if Mojang has a major archive of it somewhere but I’m accepting it’s all lost forever 😿
Hey Sean,
Had this issue as well after the update. Worlds I had just vanished. I even made duplicates on both my internal and external storage since this exact instance happened on my previous world I had for 10+ years.
I even tried clearing the xbox local cache in “manage games” to see if the cloud backed up my world but I believe it was too large (500+MB). If anyone from Mojang can give any insight how to recover these please let us know.
