Windows 10: Photo tags not saving in OneDrive folder in File Explorer.

When I go to add tags to photos via Properties in File Explorer, it shows the tags correctly initially, however after OneDrive syncs the file, the tags revert back to what they were prior to the change. This happens on machines running Windows 11 and Windows 10 Pro.

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.

 

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.





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?
