Windows 10: User Account Picture

Help! My User account (manage account, select picture) shows 2 pics to the right of the pic I have already selected. I have no idea where one of them came from & the other is a photo I just took, but I can't find its location on my computer. I want to delete these 'extra' photos. (I'm picky) I'm so frustrated & ready to do a fresh install of Windows!
