Hi Brenda,
Did you look in the WINNT folder? Open
Windows explorer find the WINNT folder at the bottom
of the folders listed. Open this folder and near the
bottom you will see a number of files with the
extension of .BMP. These are the Windows backgrounds.
You may need to look for a file with the extension
.jpg.
When found, just right click and choose delete.
HTH,
Ted
