I have windows 11 and I don't have recall enabled.
I remain very skeptical about this.
It would not surprise me in the least to find out that "disabling" Recall only disables the user-facing aspects of it, but that the data collection still happens in the background regardless.
I have no proof of this, it is pure speculation, but it would be in line with behavior Microsoft has demonstrated before when adding new "features". Would anyone like to play Bejeweled?
You would kinda notice the disk usage. Last I saw it was quite image heavy and could use a fair amount if you had a lot of activity.
