Controlling where OneDrive gathers pictures for "Your Memories from this Day" feature

I want to limit the "Your Memories from this Day" feature to only pull from the pictures folder in One Drive. It currently pulls any images from any folder in my one drive, not just the Pictures folder.

I cannot find any good info online about how to limit what folder(s) the feature pulls pictures from. Thanks!

The OneDrive feature that shows photos from the same day but from prior years is mostly great. However, in some cases it is including junk images, e.g. .png files from downloaded web sites and video games, which are definitely not in my Pictures directory. I have looked at settings and can't find anything that seems relevant. This occurs on both the web version and on the iOS version. I have looked up the location of some of the images and they are all in OneDrive, but in folders far removed from the Pictures folder. How can I convince OneDrive to only look under Pictures? Thanks.
