I would like to delete the stock wallpapers from my n9, but I can't find them. I just cleared my device from the settings menu, thinking it would wipe all the stock content, but the wallpapers remain.

~/.wallpapers doesn't seem to exist now, ~/MyDocs/.wallpapers is there, but is empty. Does anyone know where I can find them.

I can't check right now, but could they be in /usr/share/themes/ or /usr/share/backgrounds/ ?

Could be very wrong though, as I say... I can't check ATM

/usr/share/backgrounds seems to be the one. Thanks.

Managed to locate the stock or built-in wallpapers in usr/share/backgrounds using FileBox.. But the wallpapers from the source directory cannot be deleted.. Only the copied wallpapers can be deleted.. Is there anyway that I can permanently delete the stock (built-in) wallpapers from the source directory?

In terminal:

Code:

devel-su
Password:default rootme
rm /usr/share/backgrounds/imagename.png

But you wont get any space to Mydocs by that, you just get application memory. Not 100% trought.
