    (Newbies can't post links, of course, so change hxxp to http)

    Just go ahead and navigate to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper and all the choices from that box are in there. Delete as you see fit.

    Hope I helped!

    Matt.

    PS: Yes, Pokeballs are my wallpaper. :p

    C: is your Hard Drive in your PC, the one where all your files are kept (Your music, pics and videos are all inside your C:\ Drive)

    But I will upload some more images to show you. :)

    1. Click 'Start' on your Taskbar, hopefully you know about that! :p
    2. Left click the 'My Computer' on the right of that menu. (Image A)
    3. In the 'Address Bar' just copy and paste the C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper into there. (Image B)
    4. You're there!


    I'm here to answer any more questions you may have.

    Do you mean you right clicked them and set as background(Desktop).
    Am not sure but if this is the case windows may deal with this by having a background file that is overwritten each time.
    Therefore you may not have a copy remaining of online/unbacked up choices.
