Where Are Windows Recall Snapshots Stored?
Windows Recall CoreAIPlatform snapshot store, controls and deletion notes.
Last updated
Recall snapshots live in a protected CoreAIPlatform store under Local AppData, encrypted per device on Copilot+ PCs. Screenshots, OCR text and the vector index sit together.
Deletion happens in Settings, not Explorer. Touching the store by hand risks the whole Recall database.
