Open File Explorer.
Click on This PC.
Browse the following path:

C:\Users\%username%\Videos

Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.

Click the Move button.


Browse to the new location to store your Captures folder.
On the top-left corner, click the New folder button.
Name the folder Captures and press Enter.
Select the newly created folder, and click Select Folder.


Quick Tip: Avoid selecting the root of a drive (for example, E, as you will get an error message trying to restore your default settings in the future. In addition, using the default Game DVR settings, it's also possible to select a network share folder as the new location, if you have a network-attached storage (NAS) or a computer in your local network with more available storage. While this works over a Wi-Fi connection, you'll get better performance using an Ethernet (wired) network connection.
Click Apply.
Click Yes to confirm the move.


Click OK.
Using these instructions, you're only changing and moving the Captures folder, and it's not necessary to relocate the Videos folder and all its content, which you may still want to keep in the same location. Once you complete the steps, Game DVR will automatically continue to save your screenshots and clips in the new location without additional configurations in Settings or in the Xbox app.

You can quickly confirm that Game DVR is using the new location on Settings > Gaming > Game DVR, and then checking the folder path for screenshots and games clips, which now should reflect the new location. Or in the Xbox app, you can go to Settings > Game DVR, and check the location for Saving captures.
