Common Questions: Deleting Wallpaper History on Windows

Will this delete the background from my computer?

If you delete the wallpaper using the File Explorer, it will be deleted from your computer. If you delete something accidentally, you can always find it in your Recycle Bin before it's emptied.

Why can't I change my background?

If you can't change your background, check your settings. Click the Start menu and select Settings . Click Ease of Access > Display > check the box for Show desktop background .

Is my wallpaper history visible to everyone?

If multiple people are using one user account, they will be able to see your wallpaper history. However, if you're logged into your own user account, this will be hidden from other users.
