iPhone Wallpaper Limit Reached

I cannot add a new wallpaper because there's a lot of new wallpapers that was added on my device that I did not add.

I've tried to delete a lot of them but after doing so... I'm still receiving an error message saying "Wallpaper Limit Reached. Please delete one to add a new one".

This has been an issue since I've upgraded to iOS 16.3 and now I'm running 16.5 and still experiencing the same issue.

How can I delete wallpaper limited reach so I can make new wallpaper


To delete the wallpapers—and there may be an easier way—tap the sleep button to go back to the login screen, long press on the wallpaper to get into the customization mechanism, swipe right or left until you get to a wallpaper you don't want, swipe it upwards, and select the trashcan icon that will be shown to confirm the deletion.


Deletion is really well hidden, unfortunately. I'd have expected a way to delete wallpapers in Settings > Wallpaper, but there does not seem to be a way to do that, at least as far as in iOS 16.5.
