Windows 10: Sketch and Snip seems to have 'hidden' folder of images.

This is one App I use quite a lot, and I've noticed that there appears to be a 'hidden' cache of all 'Snips' that are being retained in the program files related to the App.

I wonder why these are being created and why are they are being retained, even after a full disk clean ?

The filepath for the App is:

%LocalAppData%\Packages

and located under ScreenSketch in the TempState folder are copies of snips made using the App. My first thought was that these related to the Timeline function but I'm not really sure, and in any case this seems a security issue to me as any images made and fully deleted should not be retained in such an easily accessible form as this.

Any ideas?

Microsoft "Snip & Sketch"

Where is "Snip & Sketch"
stored on my computer?

The shortcut "PROPERTIES" displays:

"TARGET: Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App".

I just discovered this app ("Snip & Sketch") today
190115. Info on it claims a "Release date 2/27/2018".

Thanks.

 

October Update Snip & Sketch Eraser Tool

You're wasting your time complaining about it (or offering suggestions) here. Use the Feedback Hub, which you can find in the list of apps on the Start menu.

 

Snip and sketch does not save snips or sketches.

What about Win+w (Ink Workspace); is it still there? You might get a different symptom from trying to save a "Screen Sketch" made that way. Oh. Apparently "Snip and sketch" is just a new name for that? If so, you don't need to save anything, just
use the Resume button.

That would be new too. No sign that Ink Workspace is installable in 1803.
