I saved a picture on my computer and didn't know where it got saved, so I did a search for .jpg in Windows File Explorer and I found it.
I also found thousands of pictures I never took. Mostly news and advertising pictures in Local -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Notifications -> (followed by a long alphanumerical name)
They are things as old as when Obama was president, when Trump and Clinton were debating, and other news photos plus what looks like stock images of people with products.
There are 2800 of them, mostly small sized, but I have no use for them. Can I safely delete them? Thanks
PS. I don't know if it makes a difference, but it was originally a Win8 computer that I upgraded to Win10 as soon as it was available.
If you have no use for these temp files, I'd destroy them without a second thought, but that's just me .. For me that folder location is pretty empty, except for some Theme images in an obscure subfolder.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
I'm suspecting they might be "live tile" images from Windows 8 as I never read the news on that computer, and the ones I can categorize as when they were news are all old from when Obama was still president.
A lot of pictures of Obama before he had gray hair, and even the Clinton/Trump debates.
I guess I should make a disk image before I nuke them, just in case Windows is depending on them to be there.
Are any of them your current desktop theme image? If not, I doubt Windows is 'depending' on them, but making an image beforehand is never discouraged here.

I don't have a desktop image, just a plain black desktop. Years ago I used to do fancy things on the desktop, but I decided clean was better and black made the few icons I have on the desktop stand out better.
I made a disk image, put the 2800 images in the recycle bin, the world didn't end, the computer didn't explode, and Bill Gates didn't show up at my door.
So if in a week or so nothing is asking for one of those images, I'll empty the bin.
I couldn't find it either when I went back to look.
I did a search for .jpg on the C drive in the File Explorer. I showed all the pictures I know I have plus the 2800 that started with AA and BB with some alphanumerical gibberish following.
Then to find it again, I made a shortcut to the desktop, so I could 'open in folder'
So far, nothing is telling me it can't find a photo and I doubt anything will. And in time I'll empty the recycle bin.
I took some liberties to find what I assume could be the same place. To get to mine, I used an app that lets me click on folders as I go. You should be able to use File Explorer.

I believe there's an advanced search option to determine if you want system files in the search. That may be the cause of the difference you found. Also, there's a Win Explorer option to "Hide System Files" that's on by default.

I have "hide system files" turned off for years now so that isn't the problem. I have found the win 10 search to be almost completely useless. My internet computer only has one drive and it contains very few jpgs but it couldn't find them. Maybe the advanced search option is something that I should look in to, however with previous windows searches that was unnecessary.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

There's only a few: 5,555 items (what!?) They are about to be blown away.
Some are dated today, and are images of things I've never even looked at. On further investigation, they relate to News Items that Microsoft must download in the background.
Do these two images look familiar?

I did a search for .jpg without an asterisk in front.
They are all still in my recycle bin, but not for long.
Reviewing them, they are old news pictures, and stock pictures, the kind you find in ads. I'm pretty sure they were "live tiles" pictures from when I first got the computer and before I upgraded from Win8 to Win10.
When it was a Win8 computer, I had an app that directly took me to the desktop and gave me a WinXP/Win7 style start menu. So I suspect the live tiles were working in the background collecting data and saving pictures.
It's not my main Internet computer. I think if the guys in Redmond were tracking me, they would think I'm a pretty boring person
I emptied the recycle bin, nobody is asking for those pictures, my computer didn't blow up, and the Bill Gates microchip from my COVID-19 vaccine didn't even notice.

Yes, exactly as expected. Me too.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
