Removing Background files
 
Hi All,

I've removed all the images that came on the phone, and I want to remove all the desktop files for backgrounds as well. Where are these files stored?
cause when I got change background I'm still getting loads of image sets files , I don't want these options anymore.

Thanks
Chris

They'll be hidden in your Images folder.

Plug your N900 in to your computer.

If I understand correctly, the image sets in the change background menu are read from files with .desktop ending located in the Images folder (i.e., ~/MyDocs/.images).

Maybe deleting (or renaming) those files would remove the options from the change background menu.

Or delete them using the command line. They'll be files starting with a '.', so cd into the correct directory:

Code:

cd MyDocs/.images
and then:

Code:

rm .
then press TAB twice to see the files. Then just finish off the command with the filename and they're gone :) They'll be names like '.abstract1.desktop'
