Thumbs.db is a hidden file that is created by Windows when you view images or videos in a folder. It stores thumbnail images of the files in the folder, which can make it easier to browse the folder’s contents. However, thumbs.db files can also be a privacy concern, as they can contain images of sensitive or private content.
There are a few different ways to avoid creating thumbs.db files. One way is to disable the creation of thumbnail images in Windows. You can do this by opening the Folder Options dialog box (Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options) and then clicking the “View” tab. Under the “Advanced settings” section, uncheck the box next to “Show thumbnails instead of icons.”
