For my personal lost media, it would be the original save data on my first Wii console I got for my birthday in 2008, as it unfortunately one day in 2010 (I can't remember the exact day) stopped reading any of my Wii discs I tried to send in and though my family tried multiple times to get Wii cleaning lens to fix the problem, it still refused to play any of my Wii games and I soon gave up any hope of repairing it. The worst part is that I didn't have any SD card to store any of my original save data, so it was permanently stuck on my old Wii console that no longer played any of my Wii games anymore.
I soon got a new Wii console a week afterwards and had to start over from the beginning of creating new save data on the Wii games I own. My new Wii console continues to work to this day without any of those problems I mentioned above and I didn't mind starting over on creating new save data on my new Wii console, but my original save data on my original Wii console (which I have stored in a room along with my personal VHS tapes) will probably be lost forever since I no longer use it.
Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.

I have two:
The first, a minor one, is a VHS tape that contained a recording of the time when WB accidentally aired the Japanese version of Meowth's Party. I believe I gave it to my best friend before he moved back to Japan, but I'm not sure. I know I gave him a tape, because we liked Slowpokes and it had the Slowpoke Well episode, but not sure if that was the one.
I also can't find any recordings of the incident on Youtube, though they quickly changed it to a version of their faux karaoke the next airing, and it showed.
A major one, but some merchandise for a Japanese dub of a horror movie that's supposed to have my Grandma's face on it. Apparently she was big in Japan for a short time, and had the perfect for a zombie when she wasn't wearing her glasses, and was on a lot of merchandise. I would love to see ANY of this, as I know my family is a bit biased (it was my grandma after all, and she was an amazing lady), but I've heard from everyone it was everywhere, even on a couple of posters, but I can't find any info on it.
It would mean so much to me, as I was far closer to her than my actual mom (not a bad mom, just different personalities), and I lost her in the late 00's.

Just a little belated update from my end: I actually managed to find all the footage from my 2012 East Coast trip in some obscure folder on my old desktop. I thought it was lost for forever. Nope, just stuffed in the Roblox folder of all things
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."
The old TV guide channel I use to have once had an error and showed a Windows XP desktop. I was watching it for over an hour. I feel like I remember the cursor bringing the guide back but that might be a false memory.
I also remember for a while the Family Channel had an error where only the background sound could be heard during the shows; The voices of the characters were mute. At the time I thought it was some kind of hearing impaired version like Closed Captioning. It lasted most of the day.

This signature will appear on all my posts. That's pretty neat.
Back in March of 2012, I published a video titled "Walden is Stupid: Not-Perfecto Party" to my first YouTube channel, "1happycats". An edit of the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episode "Perfecto Party", it involves Walden attempting to wreck Wubbzy's party by making a dangerous dish called the "Food of Doom". He ends up blowing up the entirety of Wuzzleburg by hitting a rock after putting a cherry bomb on the Food of Doom. What I remember about it was some odd choices I made in terms of editing, such as most of the new dialogue being spoken in Speakonia, and music from Os Carrinhos being added in. In one scene, Wubbzy asks his friends to burp, and calls Buggy "Bugger". At the end of that short, the "WTF Boom" sound is heard just as Walden runs into the rock.
My 1happycats channel somehow closed while making a new account specifically for The New Charlie and Lola Show episodes titled "NewCharlieAndLola" (I lost the login details for that account and therefore cannot access it anymore, so likely by then I ended up making yet another which is now called "1happycats Classics & Gaming"), and the original video file for "Not Perfecto Party" was lost. I don't know if it was because I forgot to back it up while resetting my PC in October of that year, or if I lost it at an earlier point, but basically I don't have it anymore. I have been thinking of remaking the short and uploading that somewhere, but it would still be appreciated if someone had a copy of the original and can upload it.

A bunch of stuff I recorded on cassette as a kid is lost. My sister and I got a tape recorder for Christmas when I was 6 or 7, and that was our favorite thing to play with for a while, especially me. I recorded a series of what I called “Weird Weird Weirds,” tape recorder experiments that largely consisted of me flipping the microphone remote switch on and off or hammering on the pause button. I rescued most of those as well as a couple of radio and TV air-checks I taped, and one of many “audio plays” me and my friend N___ made. Most of these are lost, though, many of them on tapes that broke because they were cheap and we were kids who didn’t handle them with delicacy. Stuff I know for sure is gone for good:
Recording of my dad snoring, the first recording my sister and I ever made
Vulgar take-offs on The Brady Bunch and Happy Days that me and the aforementioned N___ made.
Episodes of The Wrong Family, a fake sitcom we made up about a couple with an enormous family of rambunctious kids, acted out with Star Wars figures.
Colisa and the Chocolate Factory, a take-off on you-know-what starring Colisa, our pet tropical fish that my sister and I made up adventures for.
There was a pokémon-themed notebook that I probably made in 2011 and totally forgot about. A family member found it last year or the year before while looking through paper junk that needed burning. I looked through the notebook briefly and found it to be really embarrassing, so I asked that family member to burn it. I regretted my decision within 24 hours.
Also, not personal per se because it wasn't stuff that I made, but I had a friend in high school who made some pokémon-related stuff; most notably a remix of the Generation I wild battle theme that that friend let me listen to. He later told me that he wasn't happy with the remix and had deleted it. He also uploaded at least two pokémon-themed YouTube videos; one of them was a Nuzlocke attempt at Pokémon LeafGreen (which I guess he got bored with or gave up on), and the other was a gameplay video of a fan-made 3D pokémon game that looked pretty advanced for the time. I checked that friend's channel recently and both of those videos were gone.
I had a script that I made for my screenwriting class in college that I was proud of, unfortunately it died along with several other files I had in a hard drive crash over a decade ago(including an erotic Harry Potter fanfic i'd written for another website).
I used to have some videos on my youtube channels that i removed, those videos were: -Minion Rush gameplay, the video was me playing the game on a phone recording on a phone -Tractor Tom episodes in Serbian recorded from a phone -Oddbods Pogo toy that walks and talks in Serbian
-Some rants, salutes, opinion change, my reaction to videos
-Club penguin rewritten and another game ban speedrun
I also had some RARE recordings on a external hard drive from 2018-2021 but it broke in 2021 ):
I was seen in the background of a local news broadcast about my school in 2009. Someone had slashed all the bus tires as a senior prank and the news was right outside reporting at the bus lot where my class was doing some sort of last day of school thing. It's not on YouTube I highly doubt it's archived anywhere.
The Timmy the Tooth thing earlier reminded me of when I was on a field trip in elementary school (Probably post-first grade). I forgot where we were going but it has something to do with teeth. We were shown an educational cartoon that featured a Pajama Sam-like character fighting plaque that were drilling into and destroying teeth. The plaque were singing a song about it. The cartoon was very in-your-face about its morals. It was definitely animated traditionally, it wasn't a puppet show or some sort of odd hybrid like the sandwich shorts from Disney Junior.
