I don't see a way to delete wallpaper?

Question: I don't see a way to delete wallpaper. Can I do it or am I stuck with all of these pictures I'll never use?

Answer: If you notice, when you go to Display properties/Desktop you won't find a delete button to prune the long list of wallpaper, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.You can go to the wallpaper folder directly and delete from there. Here's how:

Usually the wallpaper folder is located at C:\WINDOWS\Web\WALLPAPER. If you don't find it, just do a search for "Wallpaper" and it will come up in the list.

Once you get to that folder, if you have Win ME or newer, change the view to "Thumbnail" so you can see all the pictures.

Hold down the Ctrl key and click the pictures you want to get rid of.



Click your Delete key and, ZAP, they're gone.

Those little .bmp tiles are located somewhere else. Just head back to the C:\WINDOWS folder and follow the same procedure to get rid of them.
