Windows 10: How to remove the MicrosoftEdgeBackups folder?

It can be found here:

"C:\Users\<username>\MicrosoftEdgeBackups\"


I only found threads about restoring it, but I want it gone from my userfolder, so it is more organised.

If it is not deletable, in that case I would just like to move it somewhere else – perhaps into the AppData/ folder. Folder is useless anyway.


Where can I change this permanently? There are no options inside Microsoft Edge.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

No More MicrosoftEdgeBackups?????

Good morning. Sorry but I'm running somewhat behind for the last couple of days.

Not using an MS Account. Can't remember the last time I did sign with that.

Didn't use a "Tool" but rather the tutorial for deleting unwanted apps. That was done two weeks prior to the end of Edge making back ups.

Don't know about Status, but it's apparent in File Explorer:




Previously it would make a folder like:




Earlier this morning I copied that 09/11 folder back into the backups folder on my hard drive and ran my batch file back up and it deletes the old sub-folders! None of this makes any sense to me.

I've been through several "Restarts" and Shutdown & Cold Boots in the last 6 days with no change to this.
