  1. Removing photos from PC


    I have personal photos that I would like to remove. I deleted them from all folders in explorer and they still appeared in my start menu, rotating on my "photos" tile. I typed %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\PhotosAppTilein the command prompt, found the thumbnails in that folder and deleted them. I still see them in the start menu tile. Where else are they stored and how do I get to them, to delete them?

    :)

    Removing photos from PC

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Removing photos from PC :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
