do you mean the thumbcache files like the ones found here; \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer or thumbs.db files?

 

or maybe, if you are referring to the thumbs.db files found in your Pictures folder, they are being recreated by you visiting that folder.

 

personally, I have an INCLUDE for thumbs.db, I use the Details view in File Explorer so don't want any thumbs files left around.

 

what OS and CC version (don't say latest) are you using?
