I wonder if it is worth trying to temporarily move your TS3 folder out of Documents and onto the desktop (you can always put it back) and let the game generate a new one to give a fresh start. There are instructions on how to do this in the first post (under "primary things to try first") of Bluebell's help thread here :

This might "reset" how your TS3 folder works. If the OP is willing to try this, then open the game and then close it again, we could see if the images then go into the correct folder. If they do, that might suggest that something odd has rerouted them in the current setup.
What do you think?

Hi, sorry that took so long, but that did not work. The images are still not going where they're supposed to go
- Hi
I really don't know what to suggest. You may just need to delete them all when you quit playing. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling TS3 but if nothing else is wrong I suspect you'd be reluctant to do so.

Sorry could not think of a better solution. If I find out more about this I will get back to you. ☹️
Caspin the thing that just entered my head is and hopes it works is make that folder read only to see if it will prevent the images building up there and make a new folder for the images from the internet that you do want to save but make sure to direct the images to go to that new folder at least for testing purposes to see if the featured items images will stop building up OR will start to go to the new folder..what do you think caspinwall ?
