正在寻找从Windows PC 中删除桌面壁纸的方法？如果您曾经更改过Windows中的壁纸，您可能已经注意到系统默认附带的大量无用壁纸。我从来没有(NEVER)使用过任何内置壁纸，因此想找到一种永久删除它们的方法！
对于大多数人来说，这可能是一项无用的努力，但如果您想最大限度地定制您的机器，那么这可能值得您花时间。
如果您右键单击桌面，选择Personalize，然后单击 底部的桌面背景，您将看到那里列出的系统中包含的所有默认壁纸。(Desktop Background)在Windows 7中，您有Architecture、Characters等类别。
在Windows 8中，您有更多令人讨厌的类别，例如花卉、线条和颜色。再说一次(Again)，我真的宁愿所有这些壁纸都不要出现。
Windows 10 有另一组新创建的壁纸，将于今年夏天发布。幸运的是，删除壁纸就像导航到正确的文件夹并删除那里的所有内容一样简单。
如何删除桌面壁纸
在Windows XP中，有一些位置存储了这些烦人的壁纸。在Windows 7、Windows 8 和Windows 10中，壁纸都存储在一个位置。在每个版本的Windows中查看的主要位置是：
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
在该文件夹中，您将看到系统上安装的默认壁纸。在Windows XP中，您会看到一些JPG 和 BMP 图像(JPG and BMP images)，其中最著名的是Bliss.bmp，它是该操作系统的(operating system)默认桌面背景(default desktop background)。
在Windows 7及更高版本中，您可能会发现几个文件夹，这些是我上面提到的类别。
现在您可以简单地删除此文件夹中的所有图像，下次打开它时它们将从桌面背景对话框中删除。(desktop background)如果您认为以后可能真的想使用壁纸，您可以将它们剪切并粘贴到临时文件夹中。稍后将它们复制回来以使它们再次显示在列表中。
在Windows 7、8(Windows 7)或 10中尝试删除壁纸时可能会遇到的一个问题是一条错误消息，指出您首先需要获得TrustedInstaller的许可。
这是Windows更高版本中的主要烦恼，它旨在防止非技术人员通过删除重要的系统文件来搞乱系统。为了删除文件或文件夹，您必须先将所有者更改为您自己，然后授予自己完全控制(Full Control)权限。幸运的是，我已经写了一篇关于如何删除受 TrustedInstaller 保护的文件(delete files protected by TrustedInstaller)的详细文章。
如果您想将自己的壁纸添加到C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper目录中，您可以这样做，但您必须遵循相同的步骤并重置壁纸(Wallpaper)目录的权限。一旦你这样做了，你可以复制任何你想要的JPG 格式(JPG format)的图像文件，它们应该会显示在桌面背景对话框(desktop background dialog)中。
如您所见，我还在Wallpaper文件夹中创建了一个名为My Wallpapers的文件夹。除了Windows(Windows)附带的默认壁纸，您还可以添加一堆您自己的收藏夹。您显然可以通过简单地单击“浏览”(Browse) 按钮并导航(button and navigating)到该文件夹来从任何地方添加图片，但这里的重点是自定义对话框的外观，以便它显示您的自定义壁纸而不是默认壁纸。
作为旁注(side note)， Windows XP也有一堆壁纸存储在 C:\Windows目录中。 此处请(Make)务必小心，因为Windows 目录(Windows directory)中还存储了许多重要文件，您不想意外删除它们。请注意，您只想删除 .BMP 文件，因此请不要理会其他所有内容。
我建议以缩略图(Thumbnails)模式查看目录，然后慢慢浏览并删除您看到的壁纸。
如果您愿意，这就是您可以从Windows中删除背景壁纸的方法。(Windows)这不是大多数人愿意做的事情，但如果你是像我这样喜欢修补的人，那么这是一个有趣的小实验。如果您有任何问题，请发表评论。享受！
Remove Desktop Background Wallpapers in Windows
Looking for a wаy to delete dеsktоp wallpapers from your Windows PC? If you have ever сhanged the wallpaper in Windows, you’ve probably noticed the ridiculous number of uselеss wallpapers that come with the system by default. I hаve NΕVER used any of the built-in wallpapers and therefore wanted to figure out a way to delete them permanently!
This is probably a useless endeavor for most people, but if you are into customizing your machine to the max, then this might be worth your time.
If you right-click on the desktop, choose Personalize, and click on Desktop Background at the bottom you’ll see all the default wallpapers that are included in the system listed there. In Windows 7, you have categories like Architecture, Characters, etc.
In Windows 8, you have more annoying categories like Flowers and Lines and colors. Again, I really would rather all of these wallpapers not show up.
Windows 10 has another set of newly created wallpapers that will be shipping when it’s released this summer. Luckily, deleting the wallpapers is as easy as navigating to the correct folder and deleting everything there.
How to Remove Desktop Wallpapers
In Windows XP, there are a few locations where these annoying wallpapers are stored. In Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10, the wallpapers are all stored in just one location. The main place to look in every version of Windows is:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
In that folder you will see the default wallpapers installed on the system. In Windows XP, you’ll see some JPG and BMP images, the most famous being Bliss.bmp, which is the default desktop background for that operating system.
In Windows 7 and higher, you might find a couple of folders and those are the categories that I was mentioning above.
Now you can simply delete all the images in this folder and they will be removed from the desktop background dialog the next time you open it. If you think you may actually want to use the wallpapers later, you can just cut them and paste them into a temp folder. Copy them back later on to have them show up in the list again.
One problem that you might run into when trying to delete wallpapers in Windows 7, 8 or 10 is an error message saying that you first need permission from TrustedInstaller.
This is a major annoyance in later versions of Windows and it’s meant to prevent non-technical people from messing up the system by deleting important system files. In order to delete the files or folders, you will have to change the owner to yourself first and then give yourself Full Control permissions. Thankfully, I’ve already written a detailed article on how to delete files protected by TrustedInstaller.
If you want to add your own wallpapers into the C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper directory, you can do so, but you will have to follow the same procedure and reset the permissions on the Wallpaper directory. Once you do that, you can copy over any image files you want in JPG format and they should show up in the desktop background dialog.
As you can see, I also created a folder inside the Wallpaper folder called My Wallpapers. Instead of the default wallpapers included with Windows, you can add a bunch of your own favorites. You can obviously add pictures from anywhere by simply clicking the Browse button and navigating to that folder, but the point here is to customize the look of the dialog so that it shows your custom wallpapers instead of the default ones.
As a side note, Windows XP also has a bunch of wallpapers stored in the C:\Windows directory. Make sure to be careful here because there are also many important files stored in the Windows directory and you don’t want to accidentally delete them. Note that you only want to delete the .BMP files, so leave everything else alone.
I would suggest viewing the directory in Thumbnails mode and then slowly browsing and deleting the wallpapers as you see them.
So that’s how you can remove background wallpapers from Windows if you like. It’s not something most people would care to do, but if you’re someone like me who likes to tinker, then it’s fun little experiment. If you have any questions, post a comment. Enjoy!
