Delete forever... It's a scary phrase. But when you do delete your Minecraft world, where does it go, what happens to deleted minecraft worlds? They certainly don't go into the trash, they just vanish. Where do deleted minecraft worlds go, and what happens to your world when it corrupts...

This is a series called Minecraft VVSauce where I explore random features of Minecraft. Not Minecraft, but the water rises or Minecraft Manhunt but a more research based series dedicated to over-answering questions you never asked.

Fun fact, I believe the world in the thumbnail has the name "Corrupted" in the infinity snapshot

    I remember a glitch in beta. One of my world's just stopped existing. Was upset and started a new world. After a couple days I ran across some very familiar structures from the old world. As if I just took a "vacation"
  • I love the way that he turned a Minecraft documentary into a hope-booster is incredible.

    “And those memories won’t be deleted.” Unus Annus flashbacks
  • I remember in an older Minecraft (I believe 1.2.5, that's the one I played the most years ago before I went to 1.7.10) if you named a world the same name as a deleted world you could find the same location and if you had a house, it would be there but really chopped up. At least that happened to me once, it was awesome rediscovering that old build out of the blue.

    12:20 "but, the memories we made on those worlds, can't be deleted" this part just sent me to the past when i would play with my best friends every day, until they started to play less, and less, and less. and one point (that it is right now) they just thought that i don't exist.

    "One day you'll place your last block ever and maybe not even know it" That actually made me kinda sad :(
  • This could be useful for the kid who’s dad deleted his Minecraft world after he didn’t wake up for school...

    I had a world with my father. I made it around 6 years ago, and we had many laughs mining for diamonds, and fighting through mobs. One day my friend was messing around on my computer, and found the world. He got to the screen where you delete the world. He saw it, and without hesitation deleted the world. I stayed awake that night just thinking about all of the good times. My dad knew how much that world meant to me, and him. We played Minecraft for hours on that world, and to see it go was the worst day of my life. Thank you, Minecraft.

    This was in bedrock edition but its still a glitch that my friend found. Me and him were playing on this world which was an oak biome next to a desert village. But when some terrain updates came there was suddenly 1 or 2 chunks in the desert that had been changed to a jungle and there was a random swamp near our house Also in another village one of the houses had been completely demolished by a mountain that had loaded in because of the update and even my friend said that one of the end cities had dissapeared. Like he built a trail and a tower next to the end city but when he went there after the update the city dissapeared

    Magnificent. This reminded me of when I hadn't binged through Vsauce and every video was new. Awesome script 10/10 earned a sub
