Deleting Desktop Pictures in Catalina

How can I delete individual desktop pictures and solid colors from the /Library/Desktop Pictures folder in OS Catalina? I would like to save the 2GB or so they take up, so I'd like to delete all but the startup image of Catalina and one solid color. I was able to move them to trash on previous versions of the Mac OS, but not this one.

You can't make changes to any folder under /System/Library/


In Catalina, the system volume is separate from the data volume (even though they appear as one in the Finder), and the system volume is read only.
