Windows 10: File encryption keeps returning even if I remove them

I encrypted some files, now even if I decrypted them, when I copy / zip / they return as encrypted.


I would like the full decryption of the files, how can I do that? I don't need this encryption anymore and I don't want to keep saving this pfx key to restore access to my files


I've tried to remove the certificates but to no avail...


thanks!

:)

File Encryption

Yes,

That is indeed the way to do it. Please observe the following:

• Turning off the encryption setting does not remove encryption
• Hard resetting your device destroys the only copy of the encryption key, and thus your access to these precious pictures.

I would suggest copying them reguraly, or you can automate this using Microsoft's MyPhone service (free).
