"textContent": "In Windows 11, if you right-click a file or folder in File Explorer, you can access the extended context menu by clicking “Show more options.” Among other options, you will find the “Send to” command.\n\nThis allows you to quickly create a shortcut to the file or folder, send it via email, or open it in a specific application.\n\nTidying up: With just a few mouse clicks, you can easily delete unused entries from the “Send to” context menu in File Explorer.\n\nFoundry\n\nHowever, all sorts of unnecessary entries accumulate here over time. To tidy up, proceed as follows: Select the file or folder and press the **Windows + R** key combination.\n\nThe “Run” window will now appear, in which you enter the command shell:sendto. This opens the folder in File Explorer where the “Send to” shortcuts are stored. You can then simply delete them from there.\n\n## Related content\n\n * Find any file on your Windows PC in seconds with this free app\n * I just spotted this Windows feature and I instantly fell in love\n * This keyboard shortcut makes Edge better than Chrome\n\n",
