This stuff, and downloaded specifically from Microsoft (and not from elsewhere)?

You should be able to reset your default search engine in Safari, and with no other issues.
Otherwise… drag the Bing Wallpaper app from Applications and into the trash.
Otherwise… Roll in your backups from prior to the install. (Backups are one of the very few ways to mark data as having value.)

yes official app i will try this thanks much :)
BTW: There’s a checkbox at that website that defaults to redirecting the search engine.
If you like the backgrounds, un-check that checkbox, re-download the package, and re-install.
But… You’ll probably still have to reset the various browsers’ search engine default for the present download.
thanks i thought i unchecked that but i didn't i did the uninstall the way you said just grabbed it to the trash , removed things reset my search engines, and did a reinstall for just wallpapers , and all is good . Thanks much have a great night.
