Hey there, BingBingBingBing,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


Customizing your wallpaper is such a cool way to make your devices unique. We're not exactly sure but it sounds like your post may be referring to the new Lock Screen customization options in iOS 16, is that right? If so, we have some good information on that which we'll share below. If we've misunderstood the issue, just reply back with clarification and someone may be able to weigh in further.


To start, here are the steps to delete a Lock Screen customization that you created:


  1. From your Lock Screen, tap and hold to bring up the customization options.
  2. Swipe over to the one you're looking to remove.
  3. Swipe up on your screen and you should see a red trash can (delete) icon.
  4. Simply tap that button and you're good to go!


This info can also be found here: Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page, for the section titled "Delete a Lock Screen".


We hope that this information is helpful.


​Have a great day!
