Default Can't Get Rid of Wallpaper

An old wallpaper keeps popping up on the desktop on opening & closing
Windows. I find it on the wallpaper list (from right-clicking the
desktop & clicking on Properties) but no way to delete it. ( It has
long been deleted from My Pictures.) It may seem like a little thing
but it's irritating that I don't have control over my PC. How can I
get rid of this unwanted graphics?
