Deleting Wallpaper photos in Pictures folder

Hi, I have a 14" Macbook Pro with macOS Ventura installed. I'm trying to delete the contents of my Pictures folder in Wallpaper but I'm unable to do so. Has anyone any clues? Bronwyn

How to actually delete images from your mac using Photo app As everybody knows Mac is godawful when it comes to viewing images. From "press space bar to actually play .gif animation" to "you cant use arrow keys to move from one image to another". So I tried to us Photos app and turns out deleting images from its interface does not delete them from original place on disk-drive. Can anyone say how to do it or is it even possible? I imported a folder from Desktop and put another one directly into system's "Pictures" folder too. Photo app sees them, allows to browse. I click delete on image. It get into "Recently deleted". Gets me the button to "Delete forever" in the menu, so its not the "You delete from album, and not from library" - problem. I click the button or click cmd+Backspace, image gets "deleted". I open the folder from when it was imported. Its still there. So does Photo app just creates duplicates of everything you import into it and then allows you to only delete those duplicates?

Where do images saved from Image Playground store on my MacBook? Was using Image Playground. I chose to save the images. I am unable to figure out where the images are saved to. I checked Photos and nothing is there. I checked images on my desktop and nothing there either. Does anyone know where they save to? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

If you mean you added the Pictures folder to System Settings > Wallpaper. I don't see a way to delete the folder once added. You can delete the images inside /Users/<user name>/Pictures.
