Bing Desktop local image folder

Question

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?

A secret to finding them, is Picasa. It searches the entire PC for pictures when you install or change settings. — , May 09 '15 at 13:19

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

They seem to have moved again to C:\users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingDesktop\themes\ – Richard Gadsden Apr 25 '16 at 15:55

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.

You can get to it like this: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\BingDesktop\themes` – dangph Aug 01 '19 at 03:33

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:

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

Quick note: Don't use a comma between the URL and title of a Markdown link. A space will do. – bwDraco Sep 16 '15 at 04:27

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)
