    @cfooblu  Do you get a message about the folder being deleted, or is it just disappearing?  If you do see a message, please post a screenshot of it.

    Please also let me know whether OneDrive is running on this computer, even if you never use it.

    it just disappear, they automatically go to the recycle bin and if i didn't take any screenshots it'll just delete the empty folder

    and yes, i do use onedrive, btw i can't run my game if it isn't saved on onedrive

    @cfooblu  I think OneDrive is the issue here: maybe it's full, maybe it's keeping an old version of Screenshots and deleting the new one, maybe something else I'm not thinking of.  So the simple fix would be to either get rid of it entirely or keep it from trying to sync your Sims 4 data.  Please see this guide for how to implement any of these options:

    Choose the option that works for you, and feel free to ask for further help.

    @cfooblu  Do you have everything sorted out now?  Removing OneDrive does remove the files it's hosting, but you can restore them without reenabling OneDrive, as you've hopefully done (I'm not sure from your reply).  Let me know if you need further help.
