This guide will help you easily change how much storage Windows 11 uses to save snapshots of your screen.

Recall & Snapshots is a handy feature in Windows 11. It works like a photo album for your computer, saving pictures (snapshots) of what’s on your screen. Later, you can search through these snapshots to find things you’ve seen before.

These snapshots are saved safely on your computer. Windows sets a limit on how much space these snapshots can take. When the limit is reached, Windows deletes the oldest snapshots to make room for new ones. But don’t worry—you can change this storage limit anytime to fit your needs.

Want to keep more snapshots or free up space? You can easily manage how much storage Recall & Snapshots uses. If your PC is running low on storage, you can also delete snapshots anytime by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Recall & Snapshots.
