  2. Deleting Random image files from Photos App, Windows 10

    Hi Michelle,



    Thank you for writing tom Microsoft Community Forums.



    Photos app in Windows 10 gathers photos from your PC, phone, OneDrive and other devices, and puts them in one place, where you can more easily find what you’re looking for. Please refer

    See all your photos
    for more details.



    We would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and try deleting the source folder of the image file from the Photos App.



    1. Open Photos App.
    2. Click on the image you want delete to full view.
    3. Right click on the image in full view and select
      File info.
    4. Check and make a note of Folder Path of the image file.
    5. Then go back by clicking on back arrow at the top left corner.
    6. Click on Ellipsis icon at top right corner and choose
      Settings.
    7. Click on X button on noted folder path in the list of folder paths under
      Here is the list of what we have found so far and check.

    Regards,

  3. Photos app hogging resources in background

    Ian, this suggestion was posted on my other thread:

    We understand that not all of users are using the Photos app on Windows 10, if not very often. If you don't want this app to be running on background when not in use, there is a way you can turn this
    off. Kindly follow the steps provided below:


    • In Cortana, type Privacy Settings
      and press Enter.
    • Look for Background apps.
    • Look for Photos in the list.
    • Flip the switch to Off.
    • Restart your computer.

    After you restart your computer, you can check if the Photos app is still running in background. You can use these steps to turn off any running background applications as it is not limited to Photos
    app alone. In this way, you can conserve a lot of power and process allowance.


    I just followed these instructions, and now have to wait to see if it works. I'm hoping it solves your problem, too!
