I'm not sure what desktop environment you are running, but in Gnome it's:
right-click on desktop
change desktop background
"remove" or "add..."
Is that not working?
I personally keep a .wallpaper folder with all my favorites in it in the /home folder for selecting additional wallpapers as desired.oz

A lot of distros put them in /usr/share/backgrounds. Try looking in there. You will need to be root to delete any images in that section.looking in right placesLinux Registered User # 475019
