    Non-Existent Picture Showing in Background settings


    I used to have a picture i used as a background but has since deleted it.

    But, the picture still shows up in 'Background' 'Choose a picture.'


    I've looked in c:\Windows\Web for it but it doesn't even show up there.


    Also, how can I remove this 'Meet Now' that keeps showing its icon in the notification area???

  3. Changing the background in Windows 10 from picture foders created on the hard drive?

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay in response



    I would suggest you to try the following steps:






    • Open Desktop Background by right clicking on the desktop clicking Personalization

    • Click the picture or color that you want to use for your desktop background.

    • If the picture you want to use isn't in the list of desktop background pictures, click an item in the Picture location list to see other categories, or click Browse to search for the picture on your computer.
      When you find the picture that you want, double-click it. It will become your desktop background.




    Hope this helps.
