Where Win 10 keeps photos from camera?
Hi All,
I took a photo using the laptop camera accidently. The photo appears as a background on the screen for logging. I found the file with the photo in the directory: C:\This PC\Pictures\From camera. I did not want to keep the photo on my computer so I removed the file from the above dictionary. (Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the file.) Despite removing the file from C:\This PC\Pictures\From camera, the photo is still on the list of 5 photos in Lock screen Background Picture. I do not know how to get rid of it. I checked the following directories: - C:\Users\my-name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\As sets - C:\Windows\Web\Screen My photo was not there. I did not configure the OneDrive so the photo is not there. I do not use any external disks, pendrives and so on. I know that I can select another photo to be displayed as a background for logging, however it does not solve the problem. I want the photo to be removed from the system at all. Please tell me how to remove the photo (made by laptop camera) from Windows 10 Home. Where the system keeps such photos? Regards, EZ |

I selected the Lock Screen Background Picture (in this case my photo made by laptop camera is on the list of 5 pictures; it is still visible). I typed Windows+R and wrote %AppData%. It opened the directory: desktop my-name AppData Roaming in the File Explorer. Then I continued: Microsoft Windows Themes. In the Themes subdirectory there are 2 files: slideshow.ini and TranscodeWallpaper. The file slideshow is empty (0 KB). I opened the file TranscodeWallpaper using Paint program. It contains a picture which I saw as a wallpaper just after installing the Win 10 Home (colored umbrellas). Now the picture with umbrellas is not on the list of 5 pictures in Lock screen Background Picture. I do not remember when the picture with umbrellas disappeared but it was soon after the installing Win 10 Home. Nothing changed when I switched: the Lock Screen Background Slideshow or the Lock Screen Background Windows Spotlight. Always the same picture with umbrellas in the file TranscodeWallpaper.

It seems to me that the above code is for Linux, am I right? No Linux system is available for me now. I have to think it over. Thanks for your answer. Regards, Ez |

The top file isn't quite as close apparently. And how it got the Thumbnail file (which is super-tiny) is anyones guess. The Thumbnail isn't even remotely close, but the default threshold says it is the same. You can adjust the threshold if you want on the command line. ******* Can you do it that way ? Apparently yes. Should you do it that way ? Of course not! This run was just for fun, to revisit a program I used a few years ago, and see how much better it is today. Well, it's still got a memory leak... And what we learned, is we need to remove the thumbnail file too. Paul |

It is a risk that anytime I would use the camera, any photo could be put by the system on the list of pictures in Lock screen. It is unacceptable. Regards, EZ |

Where Win 10 keeps photos from camera?
The wallpaper images included with Windows and available to all users
are under the C:\Windows\Web folder (where you visited the Screen subfolder but didn't mention if you looked in the other subfolders). According to the article mentioned by Paul, and what I found in my setup, the per-user Theme images are under: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles You went to the parent folder of CachedFiles. Did you look *in* the folder named CachedFiles? I don't use images for the desktop background. Instead I use solid colors, like black. In the CachedFiles subfolder, I found a file named CachedImage_2560_1440_POS4.jpg which was a black image. I would never use such a name for an image file, so the OS created that file by that name. You mentioned looking at the following folder: %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentD eliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets However, those are Spotlight images with random-looking filenames with no extension. Oh goody, more garbage that has nothing to do with being an operating system but rather some inane "feature" to bloat the OS. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-f...age-windows-10 "On Windows 10, Windows Spotlight is a feature that downloads and sets Bing images as the background on the Lock screen automatically, which allows you to get a fresh look every time you sign in." You'll have to copy those files to another temp folder and rename them to the .jpg extension. Then you can see which files have images and which are icons. While renaming the files to add the .jpg extension, you might want to rename the filename to something much shorter, like pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, etc. Spotlight images on the lock screen are what you get in the Settings - Personalization - Lock screen, Background, and use the listbox to select "Windows Spotlight". According to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...dows-spotlight you disable the Spotlight "feature" in the lock screen by NOT selecting "Windows spotlight" and pick something else, like Picture or Slideshow. I don't want garbage on my lock screen, so I use a black picture. I suspect back when I was tweaking Windows 10 after installing it that I had to download or take a pic that was a black image, use Browse to pick that .jpg file, and later deleted the black.jpg file. That might be why there is a .jpg of a black image under the above mentioned CachedFiles subfolder under the Themes folder in my profile. From what you said, you aren't using the old image as your current wallpaper for the desktop or lockscreen. It's the history list of images where you want to delete the old image. Have you tried deleting all the Spotlight assets (locally stored images in random-named files with no extension) per the WindowsCentral article? If you are not using Spotlight then no point in wasting the disk space to store them locally, and maybe that affects the history list of images from which you are trying to eliminate showing your old photo. Because the "Choose your picture" seems to be a history list of images, I did a Google search on 'windows 10 lock screen "choose your picture" history erase' and found: https://www.askvg.com/windows-10-tip...y-in-settings/ Well, since it is a history list with a maximum of 5 images in the list, and as the article mentions, you could simply select enough images until the one you don't want shown gets rolled off the list. The above article mentions where is the cache of history images. Usually I have to wander into the registry to find out what is the SID (Security Identifier) for my Windows account, but I just found you can run the following in a command shell: WMIC useraccount get name,sid The Name column is where you would identify your Windows account by your user name, but you need the SID string in the folder navigation. I'd suggest copying the SID string from the above output and then use: %programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\pasteH ere\ReadOnly pasteHere is where you paste the SID string you copied from the output of the wmic command. Unlike the article states, I did not have to bother with making me the owner of the folder to just look inside the subfolders there. I did not try to delete any of the images there, and that might require additional permissions. If all you want to effect is not seeing your old photo in the "Choose your picture" history list then just select more photos you don't mind showing up in that history list until the unwanted photo rolls off the history list. If you're concerned about someone finding a nude pic you took of yourself by digging into the file system and registry, yeah, then use the AskVG article to delete the old image file (if it is still there after rolling it off the "Choose your picture" history list). By the way, Windows 10 comes with the bash shell. It's part of Microsoft integration with Linux (instead of, for example, you having to install Cygwin). |

The date and time of creating the subforlder and the file show that it was about 2 hours ago i.e. when I was typing my first answer to Paul. The picture shows my wallpaper that I am using now. You mentioned looking at the following folder: %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentD eliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets However, those are Spotlight images I supposed that but I wanted to inform where I was looking for my photo.

It was my first thought but after searching the problem I think now that the place of it is a kind of secret. :-) I simply did not want to extend the problem. Regards, EZ There are also other ways to bring back the original. "Undelete" programs flip the byte in the $MFT that says a file is deleted, and make it exist again. This works until the data clusters get overwritten by normal usage. Since Windows 10 C: is a rather busy partition, that file is probably already rated "poor" by commercial undelete software. Recuva https://forum.piriform.com/topic/455...ter-than-poor/ ******* A second recovery method, is if you turned on File History and have a backup drive for it to dump stuff on. When you delete a file, you might think "now there is no reference to the file any more". This is wrong. I read an article that said, "locate the folder that holds the file, then do a restore of the folder, thus recovering a point in time where the file existed inside the folder". That's how you use File History to recovery a file which is "deleted". On computers, it's very difficult to absolutely guarantee there isn't a copy of something, somewhere. If you look at program installers for example, there could be three or four folders with various stages of unpacked or cached files. Macrium is an example of a "litterbug", which leaves large files all over the place (part of the emergency boot CD making software). Paul |

You don't want to remove the photo because it is stuck as the desktop or lockscreen background. You said you simply don't want it to appear in the history list of "Choose a photo". Did you see the last part of my prior reply? Try that. Reinstalling the OS just to get rid of something in a MRU (Most Recently Used) history is so drastic that I have to wonder what was the content of this photo you are so desparate to get rid of. As you use Windows, or any operating system, you will find even more nuisances, and reinstalling the OS won't get rid of them. By the way, I do not know much about Windows 10.

Make sure to get the latest edition (3rd). The 1st edition won't be marked as such on the cover because, well, at that time it won't be known there will be more. The 2nd edition, and later, are marked as subsequent editions. It is a big book (960 pages, 3.6 pounds), so you'll want to immediately start reading it before the e-book or book checkout period expires. I checked out several books (and still am) on Windows 10 from my local public library; however, after first reading Woody's book, the others were just duplicates and not in as much detail, so I ended up skimming through the other books and polished them off in less than an hour. I saw it for $20 at Amazon (as a Kindle e-book). $25 for the paperback edition. Check your library first as it would be free from there (for awhile). |

Where Win 10 keeps photos from camera?
Uzytkownik "VanguardLH" napisal w wiadomosci ... You don't want to remove the photo because it is stuck as the desktop or lockscreen background. You said you simply don't want it to appear in the history list of "Choose a photo". No. I wrote in my first post that began the thread: I want the photo to be removed from the system at all. However getting rid of the photo is not the only reason for reinstalling the system. Thanks for the info about the book. Regards, EZ |

And did the unwanted photo disappear after adding more photo(s) to roll out the old one or clearing the history cache folder? The photo showing in the history list does not affect the use of the computer or the OS, so an OS reinstall just to get rid of a photo that has no effect on the setup is extreme. Doesn't appear you have tried to clear the history (by rolling out the old photo or deleting from the history cache). |
