If you use Windows 11, you might have heard about Recall & Snapshots. This is a handy feature that works like a memory for your PC. It takes small “pictures” or snapshots of your screen as you work, so you can quickly find something you saw before.

These snapshots are saved safely on your computer. Windows limits the space these snapshots can use, and when the limit is full, the oldest snapshots are removed automatically. But if you want to free up space right away, you can delete all these snapshots yourself.

How to Delete All Recall Snapshots

Follow these easy steps to remove all Recall snapshots from your Windows 11 PC:

1. Open the Settings app:
   
   
   
   • Click on the Start menu (the Windows logo at the bottom-left of your screen), then click Settings.
   
   
   • Or press the keyboard shortcut: Windows key + I at the same time.
