not sure what you mean.

You can change the wallpaper in Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper.

Go to your Photos app. Choose Saved Photos, tap the one you want to delete and hit the Trash button at the top right corner of the screen.

Go to the homescreen.

The photos app is the little icon you touch to look at your pictures.

If you synced them over from your computer, delete them off of the album on your computer that you sync from.

Have you looked at that app for a way to remove these backgrounds?

of course i have.
i wouldn't just post without attempting to delete first.

if you dowload that app and select some possible wallpapers from it, you'll be in the same boat as me

Didn't mean to sound harsh-some apps don't make things very obvious and others almost actively hide some features... I looked at the app's developer's site. No help there-it's got nothing more helpful than a "contact us" web email page. But I'd contact them anyway; maybe they just never thought that you'd want to remove their "wonderful product's" leavings...

Photos that you save are located in the Photos app in a folder called "Saved Photos." Delete these photos the same way you delete other photos (by opening the photo and tapping the trash icon at the top right).

To see the album named "Saved Photos," make sure you have selected the "Albums" tab at the top of the window in the Photos app.

Please note that even if you delete a photo, it may remain as your wallpaper until you select another wallpaper image.
