Missing images in powerpoint upload

I recently uploaded a large PPT file (225 M) that had a lot of images.  Several of them do not appear.  I deleted the file and tried to upload again but same thing happened.  Any suggestions?

I have the same problem.

I have saved PowerPoint files for a while and only recently gone back to look for them but the images are not showing.

 

This screenshot shows the issue.  I discovered it when repurposing the material for an internal training this morning and. embarrassingly for me, it was not there.

 

The version of PowerPoint is from  Office Professional Plus 2016

All the files you can see in the screenshot are suffering this issue and range from 6Mb to 37Mb (so not large but maybe that's because they lost their pictures?)

 

The pictures do not show in the preview in Windows Explorer, the edit window, slide show..... the lost ones show nowhere in fact.

 

Thanks
