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.
1I 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:
- Download Folder Change View
- Before starting Bing, run Folder Change View and select Drive C for monitoring
- 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)
