An old wallpaper keeps popping up on the desktop on opening & closing
Windows. I find it on the wallpaper list (from right-clicking the
desktop & clicking on Properties) but no way to delete it. ( It has
long been deleted from My Pictures.) It may seem like a little thing
but it's irritating that I don't have control over my PC. How can I
get rid of this unwanted graphics?

Try the other places wallpaper can be.

BMP Files from C:\WINDOWS
BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM files from the following locations:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures
(+subfolders)
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes (+subfolders)
