Jammie,

You won't be able to delete files from "Background" tab. You need to move the image files away from these folders:

C:\WINDOWS

C:\WINDOWS\WEB\WALLPAPER

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\My Documents\My Pictures

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes

Create a directory somewhere else and place your image files there.
