Is it at all possible to reload overwritten saves on the Xbox 360 console when it comes to worlds on Minecraft Xbox 360 edition? I have a world which has been autosaved over and I would like the previous save to be recovered. How do I do so?

    Why has this question been down voted? It is a good question as data is rarely lost when "deleted/overwritten". If it is due to the original question being poorly written then they should have either edited it or commented with suggestions to improve it.

Popular modern filesystems will not go out of their way to actually overwrite the data on the disk or securely delete it when overwriting a file. It is therefore theoretically possible to restore the overwritten file if the stars are right (no blocks were overwritten since the file was deleted/overwritten). However, there aren't any utilities that run on an Xbox that could do this, and hooking up an Xbox HDD to a PC and finding software that will work with its proprietary FS may be more (legal) trouble than it is worth.

Sometimes it is best to cut your losses and move on.
