    Delete personalised photo on desktop

    How do I delete the personalised photos from the desktop created in settings/accounts/your info? I created it but I cannot find anywhere that deletes these personalised photos.

    Thank you

    Barbara

    Random function as used by Desktop personalisation

    Amongst the personalisation settings the desktop background can be set to Slideshow, a folder of images selected, and an interval for change set. It can also be set to Shuffle on/off. I assume this is to set whether the display image is selected at random (shuffle on) or sequentially from list of images (shuffle off).

    I have it set to select an image from a folder of images and to change it every minute. It have tried shuffle in both positions.

    The problem is that more often than not it selects the same image.

    I had the same issue with a screen saver. Again the random setting didn't work particularly well wit a distinct bias to one or two images.

    It seems Windows random function is not reliable. I have found a better app for the slide show (GPhoto) but can't solve the desktop issue.

    Using Windows 10 , latest update, using two VDUs.
