Microsoft Photos App Background Auto Save

[Neeo]

Hi forum,

Every time I set a wallpaper as a background in the Photos app, a copy of it will save in this folder:

Is there a way to disable this feature?! It piles the wallpapers I had set as Background. It doesn't remove them automatically.

Hello,

To disable the automatic saving of wallpaper copies in the Photos app, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Photos app on your device.
2. Look for the settings or preferences menu within the app. This is usually represented by an icon with three horizontal lines or three dots, located either in the top-right corner or the bottom-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap on the settings or preferences menu to open it.
4. Inside the settings menu, look for an option related to wallpaper settings or background images. It might be labeled as "Wallpaper," "Background," or something similar.
5. Tap on the wallpaper settings option to access its configuration.
6. Within the wallpaper settings, search for an option that controls the automatic saving of wallpaper copies. It could be labeled as "Save wallpaper copies" or "Keep copies of wallpapers."
7. Disable or toggle off this option to turn off the feature. This will prevent the Photos app from saving copies of wallpapers that you set as background.
8. Once you have disabled the option, exit the settings menu and return to the Photos app.
9. By following these steps, the Photos app should no longer save duplicate copies of wallpapers that you set as background images. 10. However, please note that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the device and version of the operating system you are using.

This will definitely help.

There is no such option!
