On Windows 11, please use the "Generative Fill" Feature in Microsoft Paint. This is a powerful, native tool in Windows 11 that is perfect for removing watermark from images.

Open the Image in Paint: Right-click your photo and select Edit with Paint.

Select the Watermark: Use the Selection tool to carefully draw a box around the watermark.

Right-Click and Delete: Right-click inside the selection and choose "Generative Fill".

Leave the Prompt Blank: A sidebar will appear. Simply leave the prompt field empty and click "Generate".

AI Fills the Space: Paint's AI will analyze the surrounding area and intelligently fill the selected spot (where the watermark was) with a generated background that matches the rest of the photo.

This method is excellent for deleting watermarks from photo that are not just in the corner but overlaying part of the image.
