    How do I stop the "Photos" app from installing thousands of images on this computer?


    The "Photos" app with Windows 10 on this computer has frequently installed thousands of images in the "Photos" app. How do I stop that? How can I uninstall all the images on any single date? Can this problem be fixed, or is it better to uninstall the app?

    :)
