The screensaver deletes sheep to keep the cache size within the limit 
you set. Factors to choose which to delete are: older, and less voted. 
The server also deletes videos from the website (it doesn't exactly have 
infinite disk space). Same factors used in choosing.

The preview image and the "genome" are kept on the server for *all* 
sheep, even year-old ones. So try harder and you may find it. If the 
video was already deleted, I could help you re-render it :)
