Bing Desktop local image folder

Bing Desktop used to store images at C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingDesktop\themes\. After the latest update to 1.3.395 the images are no longer stored there.

Did anyone find the new location?

As of version 1.0.9.2 on 2021-08-02, , the location is:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingWallpaperApp\WPImages

or without the Variable:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingWallpaperApp\WPImages

Bing Desktop 1.3.328.0 on 12/07/17

C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingDesktop\themes

Looks like only the last 8 are there, maybe they are being pruned.

I got the same problem. Solution

If you have Picasa, then:

Start it and search for an image and when find it right-click and select "Locate on Disk"

If you don't have Picasa, then:

  1. Download Folder Change View
  2. Before starting Bing, run Folder Change View and select Drive C for monitoring
  3. Now start Bing and now every wallpaper that is saved on your pc will be shown there

If you search for Bing with Windows 10 Explorer, it will only find a link (.lnk)

If you use 'Free Commander':

  • use special folder shortcuts to got to 'local'
  • search for 'Bing' from here
  • it will find the 'Bing' folder and you can open the folder

There is a Bing themes folder here:

  • (C:\Users\%MYNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingDesktop)
