  1. Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


    If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.


    Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags? [​IMG]


    This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
    How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

    Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?

    :)

  2. apply tags to photos in file explorer [win v10]

    Hi Lisa,

    Applying tags to pictures in File Explorer is a great search feature in Windows 10. This works like keywords or labels that you can add to your photos so you can easily find or access them.

    To assist you with your concern, we recommend that you follow these procedures on how to add tags to your photos:

    • Go to File Explorer and select the photo you want to add a tag.
    • Upon selecting the picture, press right-click and choose Properties.
    • Click the Details tab. Under the Description section is a category marked as
      Tags.
    • Click on the right portion of this to get the text box open so you can indicate your tag.
    • Click OK at the bottom to save it.

    Feel free to inform us if the steps above resolved your concern.

    What does "Clear file explorer history" do?

    Hi Astoach

    Clearing File Explorer History simply deletes the list of file/folder locations visited in Explorer along with the list of any searches you performed in Explorer

    Somehow that cache must have become corrupt and clearing that history deletes the cache and creates a new one

    It is no harm to delete that history from time to time, it will not affect the good running of your PC . . .

    Problems with clearing cache with Microsoft Edge

    Hi Destin,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps to clear the cache from Edge and check if the issue persist.


    • Open Edge browser.

    • On the top right corner click on the three dots


    • Then below click on Settings

    • Under clear browsing data

    • Tap or click on Choose what to clear

    • From the list check cached data
      and files, browsing history


    • And click on clear.
    I would also suggest you to clear all temporary files from your computer and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows+R key on the keyboard.
    • Type %temp% and hit Enter.

    Try the SFC scan to resolve the issue. SFC scans the corrupted files and recover it automatically.

    To run the SFC/SCANNOW command in Windows 10:


    • Left click on Start button.

    • Right click on Command Prompt (Admin) option which will let you run
      'Run as administrator’.

    • Command Prompt Window pops up.

    • Type: SFC /SCANNOW

    You can also follow the link below for reference:
