Question

Unrecognised jpg files appearing in OneDrive\Pictures

Christopher Arnold 0

I've had 3 unrecognised photos show up in my Pictures folder during January, a few days apart. The file names are 133802054445273058.jpg, 133810634122348614.jpg and 133814078431219166.jpg

I'd just like to know where they came from and what they are doing there.

User's image

I have Microsoft Launcher and OneDrive on my Android phone, and one of the images came up as a memory, which was when I first noticed. The folder isn't shared with anyone. My laptop very likely was on when these pictures were added, but locked. For each image, the Created timestamp is a few days after the Modified timestamp, which I thought was odd.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Judging from the photos, it seems that it is a landscape photo, and I am not sure if it is a system photo. It is recommended that you follow the name of the photo and search to confirm whether you can find the relevant photo.

About creating and modifying due to timestamp differences: On Android devices, the creation time of a photo is usually the time when the photo was first saved to the device, while the edit time is the last time the photo was edited or moved. The creation time is a few days later than the modification time, probably because the photo was edited or moved after it was saved.

Hope the information will help you.

Thanks for replying. This sentence you wrote isn't right is it? "The creation time is a few days later than the modification time, probably because the photo was edited or moved after it was saved."

I agree that a photo can be saved, then edited or moved, but that would result in the Created time being earlier than Modified, not the other way around.

I used Google Images for one photo and got this result,

Do you know what Windows Spotlight means? Thanks again.
