When you rt-clk on the Desktop and select Properties,
a Display Properties panel appears.
Clicking on the Desktop tab, a "Background" window
displays image selections for the Desktop.
I'd like to delete some of those entries,
but how can it be done?

Delete the graphics files that are used.
Try C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
