MacBook wallpaper: Invisible photo won't delete

Hello, have you guys have ever experienced "ghost" wallpaper on MacBook? like not an actual ghost but the photo is invisible on the wallpaper section. you know on our general- wallpaper, we have one category that has the photo we've add as our wallpaper, I have this one photo that I try to delete but it still there cause its invisible and by invisble I meant, it looks like its not there but its actually there. I found out about it after set the shuffle system for my wallpaper that contains the photo I add before for my wallpaper and in the section, the photo isn't there but when you shuffle it, its there and you can't delete it, can you help me with this issue?

I liked the forest wall paper. I made the mistake of upgrading to system 26 and lost all my favorite backgrounds including the forest paper. Did Apple ever mention that upgrading would take a way all the pictures I liked in the background. I don’t think Apples cares what its customers like; it is all about what the Apple Geeks like. I am so disappointed. Not the computer I had before the upgrade and now I cannot even go back to what I had.

Do any of the current apple designers remember how visual Steve Jobs designed the Mac computer? This was the greatest design, but now with this new system 26 I lost all the designed and backgrounds I enjoyed. Why???? Did any of you apple geeks ask us what we liked? No one asked me. I thought I was doing the right thing by upgrading to the newest system..BIG MISTAKE! If you can fix it and bring back the choices we had, that would be a good thing. I won’t probably invest in Apple after this. Not sure what to do after this. I don’t like PCs either. Maybe it is time to retire from computers altogether if that is possible.

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple doesn't participate here or read these posts. No one posting here cares what type of computer you buy. Most of us would recommend you buy the one that best meets your needs, something only you can determine.

You can let Apple know your thoughts here:

Changes in the catalog of wallpapers occur with every major update.

I'm sure if you search around the internet, you can find the one you're looking for.
