the list that comes up is simply referring to background graphic files kept
on disk.
in the list you will find files kept in the WINDOWS directory, but you will
also find files that are kept in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper.
look for .bmp and/or .jpg type files

simply deleting the file will remove it from the list.
