Hi, Would appreciate some clarification please. My daughter is sending her laptop off for repair under warranty. She used it for online banking and, sometimes saves screenshots of transactions for security purposes. These screenshots are saved to the screenshots folder in pictures. She transfers these screenshots to a USB drive and deletes the screenshots and empties the recycle bin.
When running Settings/System/Storage the option to clear Thumbnails appears. It says Windows keeps copies of pictures etc. If the screenshots are deleted from Explorer/Pictures/Recycle Bin, are they still available in Thumbnails and if they are cleared from Storage does that remove them from normal view?
I'm aware that emptying the Recycle Bin doesn't fully remove them from the device as they may be recoverable using software but does clearing thumbnails from Storage stop them from casual view?
Thanks Mitch.
