Delete lock screen image

so a buddy of mine decided to change my account picture and lock screen image to a naked guy and i want these pictures off of my computer. i have found the folder to delete the account picture and i deleted the image from the desktop of the lock screen
image, but it is still an option when i go to select the lock screen image. where can i permanently delete this picture from? 

From which location have you deleted the picture?
Here is the picture location:
 C:\Users\<yourusername>\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
Remember Appdata is a hidden folder.
Select a new picture to update your account picture.
See pictures on the desktop, Start, and the lock screen

  • How to get back default Lock Screen Image of Windows 8.1

    I recently upgraded windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image .  I tried for default lock screen of windows 8.1.I can't find any default lock screen
    images of windows 8.1 (Only custom images are available). How to get default lock screen images? Does any any one know? please help me..

    The last "solution" works only for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking
    Lock. If you sign out of Windows and sign back in, that ghastly Windows 8.1 lock screen picture will come back.
    You can delete the img100.png file from your WinSxS folder: right lick on this file, click Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit, click Add, type your Windows user name in the white rectangle under "Enter the object
    name to select", click Check Names, click OK, then click Advanced, click Change, take ownership of the file, give yourself Full control over this file, click Apply and then OK. You may see your name three times in the Security tab (as user, administrator,
    and yourself). Make sure that each instance has full Control
    If this does not work, you can disable the Lock Screen: press Windows+R, type
    gpedit.msc, click OK, in the Local Group Policy Editor window that opens click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, right click on the "Do not display the lock screen" option, click
    Edit, check Enabled, then click Apply and OK.
    This, however, is a workaround rather than a real solution, which, it seems, Microsoft does not have.
    I have exactly the same issue with the horrid stripey thing. Furthermore, in Settings, Lock Screen Preview is completely blank both on current and past images.
    I've tried all the tips I've found around the web with no success. I get the horrid stripey thing back.
    I found this freeware called Lock Screen Customizer. Seems to work so far but time will tell. (Note that the download includes both win8 and win8.1 versions.)

  • Scaling lock screen image

    I am having a problem with my lock screen image after upgrading to IOS 7. I liek to have emergency contact info displayed. I have used a couple of different ICE programs that create an image int he camera roll that can then be set as the lock screen image. WHile I am selecting the image under Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness, it says "Move and Scale". I can move or pinch operatiosn but as soon as I take my finger off, the iamge springs back to the original. The result is that some of the text is cut off at the edge of the display.
    I have also looked at the iamges under the Photos app. When I jsut view the iage, I get the same left edge cutoff. But when I go into Edit mode, I see all the text.

    You may try Group Policy Editor to prevent this.
    Press Win+X Keys to launch Run menu.
    Type in gpedit.msc  in the blank space of Run menu and hit the Enter key.
    Now expand Administrative Tools > Control Panel > Personalization  > Prevent changing lock screen image.
    Prevents users from changing the background image shown when the machine is locked.
    By default, users can change the background image shown when the machine is locked.
    If you enable this setting, the user will not be able to change their lock screen image, and they will instead see the default image.

  • Windows 8.1 Force a specific default lock screen image

    Hi,
    at the moment we are preparing the win 8.1 rollout in our environment.
    Now we tried to customize the lock screen image.
    There we are facing the issue that the image does not get correctly resized to different screen resolutions.
    Therefore we are using a image with a resolution of 2160x1440 pixels.
    Does anybody have an idear how tho fix this ?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Based on my test, when user customizing the lock screen picture, system would create a new folder under the following path:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-21-1765481211-944569940-2390947737-1001\ReadOnly\
    and create a folder for the new lock screen picture which named in sequence, such as LockScreen_A, B, etc.
    In the LockScreen folder, system would generate some series pixels picture for this lock screen picture. However, when you change screen resolution, There might be a problem.
    In my opinion, you can try to use a picture which resolutioin same with system default lockscreen picture for test:

  • How to delete lock screen photo image from camera while retaining the default images?

    Hi,
    I've recently took a picture using my camera and set it as a lock screen photo. However, I can't delete the custom lock screen photo after deleting my camera picture on my laptop. I would not know what will happen if I were to reset my entire system as I
    have two separate accounts; one of the accounts is not a Microsoft account. If i were to reset my computer system, some of the applications might not be there as the laptop had a custom setting when I bought it.
    How do I delete the cached photo in my computer?(The one without a Microsoft account)

    Hi,
    Do we have any backup available?
    If yes, we may consider to use system restore point to return to a state that could be able to change/delete the lock screen picture.
    Best regards

  • Delete Lock Screen Wallpaper/ Using Customize To Change Slider Icons

    So, though it may sound a bit silly, i've had different wallpapers display on my lock screen for some time now, but i've found that i have absolutley no idea how to take it off. i'd simply like to revert back the the battery image on the lock screen, no wallpaper at all. i've gone through settings, and looked for a "No Wallpaper" option, but there is none to be found.
    Also, I've been trying to figure out how to add new images for the slider buttons, as well as the other options that are allowed with customize, can these be found in the Installer.app? i havent seen such things, unless there are sources that i havent found yet.
    help would be much appriciated, thanks!

    Hey Alan,
    To change the Wallpaper goto Settings>Wallpaper. The earth is the default image.
    There is no option to change the slider icons.
    You can request that feature online here:

  • Restore lock screen image

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to restore the lock screen wallpaper (Water droplets) for the iPhone 4. I changed my image and now want to reset it. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Roy

    Roy - If you're talking about the grey with water droplets, it's the first option in the included wallpapers. Click Settings / Wallpaper. Then, click the less than symbol ">". Then, click Wallpaper and take your pick.

  • Choosing Lock Screen image

    Hi
    I wish to change the image used for the Lock Screen in Windows 8.1. When I try I am unable to navigate to the folder that contains the image I wish to use. Instead the Libraries are shown. Where is the Browse button that will allow me to navigate the computer
    and choose the image I wish to use? I have many thousands of images, and several folders are not included within the Libraries.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If my understanding is right, we could use the browse button to choose the pictures in the computer.
    Please take the following steps to change the lock screen picture.
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap
    Change PC settings.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click
    Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
    2. Tap or click PC and devices, then tap or click Lock screen.
    3. If you want to use just one photo on your lock screen, tap or click
    Browse, and then choose the picture you want (you can choose photos on your PC or OneDrive).
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • Magnified lock screen image

    Is they an easier way not to make my lock screen wallpaper image not magnified?

    Double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn off Zoom. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this Off.
    Also make sure that none of the items in Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut are checked.

  • Delete lock screen

    I want to stop the lock screen from comming up every few minutes . I want to delete the lock screen function

    If you are going to turn off Autolock (think about this before doing it), make sure you have Find My iPhone turned on.  If you lose or someone takes your device, while they can't reactivate it withouth your Apple ID and Password, you are making yourslef more vulnerable to someone accessing personal information if there is no lock.
    We see multiple threads almost daily from someone who's iPad was lost or stolen.
    The Autolock feature may seem like a pain, but it does offer a deal of protection for your device.

  • Resume from suspend - Background & Lock Screen image corruption

    I have a Dell Vostro 3700.
    The OS is Arch 64 bit. I am using Nvidia-340xx and kernel 3.17.4-1.
    When I resume from suspend my lock screen and wallpaper images look like static on a TV.
    If the img tag doesnt post the image...here is my imgur link to what it looks like. http://imgur.com/xnftjFC
    Thank you.

    thiagowfx wrote:Would reloading the wallpaper solve your problem? For example, with feh. If yes, maybe you could reload it automatically every time you exit from suspend.
    Reloading the wallpaper actually does do the trick. The feh method will most likely work.
    i3lock && systemctl suspend
    The i3lock produces the same results. Interesting lock screen btw.
    I didn't have this problem until the upgrade when I had to use 'nvidia-340xx' instead off 'nvidia' for my drivers. Obviously that was quite a while ago and since then I have re-installed arch from scratch a few times and each time, it was the same issue.

  • Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image.  I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop.  Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
    new lock screen image?

    Hi all,
    I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
    First about the problem:
    I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
    - Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
    desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
    - Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
    Fix:
    After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
    clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
    picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
    After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.
