How do I remove custom images from Windows 8 lock screen

I have a personal photos on the lock screen and account picture that I want to delete but cannot figure out how to remove them. I have read through dozens of solutions and there is no option to delete them I have deleted all skydrive data,
removed my computer from the skydrive sync options, and looked in the c:\windows\Web\screen folder but still have no solution.
How do I get rid of them?

Hi,
For the issue, the current user account picture (tile image) is stored in the hidden folder below.
C:\Users\Public\Public Account Pictures\S-1-5-21.......(GUID for user account)
The recent user account pictures used for your account are stored in the hidden folder below.
C:\Users\(user-name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
The default user account picture images are in the hidden system folder below.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Default Account Pictures
I suggest you select a new picture to update your account picture.
1.On your Start screen, click on your user tile at the top right corner, click on Change account picture.
2.On the Personalize, then click "Browse" to select a new picture.

  • How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

    How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

    Don't under any circumstances.
    All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
    When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
    Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.

  • How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

    Hello,
    I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6?  I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Erika,
    Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
    I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
    Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
    1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
    2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
    3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

  • How can I remove one image from a slideshow?

    Hi,
    I have several slideshows and want to remove one or two images.
    Is there a way to do this without deleting and rebuilding the slideshow ?
    Thanks in advance,
    christos

    Hi,
    I don't use thumbnails but I went ahead and turned them on.
    Perhaps due to the position of the slideshow only a few thumbnails appeared.
    I wasn't able to delete the image I wanted removed.
    I tried to remove the image from my assets, and that deleted the whole slide show.
    ( didn't save the changes )
    thanks,
    christos

  • How do I remove background images from a PDF?  Using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.

    I have a file I need to print off, but the document is 100 pages lond and each page as a very obnoxious background image that makes it difficult to read the content, and I really don't want to waste the ink.
    I have tried a few things with no luck:
    -Tried replacing document background color in the 'Accessibility' tab in preferences.
    -Tried unchecking the 'Display large images' field in the 'Page Display' tab in preference - this leaves a dark gray background that I can't get rid of, which is almost as bad as the original image.
    -Tried several combinations under the 'Color Management' tab in preference to lessen the gray background achieved from the previous step.  I can only brighten the shade slighty, but there is still a fair amount of gray background.
    I just want a white background, or a clear background, and I have not seen any article or help topic on how to accomplish this.  Please help!
    Mike

    You might want to see if you can select the background with the object touchup tool. If so, can you then just delete the selected object. May take a while to go through the document, but if it solves the problem you are ahead. You may be able to select it with JavaScript and repeat the process. My point of using the object touchup tool is that it may not be a background set by Acrobat, but something that is simply labeled as an image from the Acrobat viewpoint.

  • Firefox Help Search Found 0 results for how do I remove an image from my apps toolbar area. It's not an app. it's a partial image from my desktop icons. It's like it partially opened and froze.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    I have a partial image from one of my desktop icons stuck in the app bar of my firefox yahoo homepage and can't seem to remove it.

    Try this -
    <img src="assets/jpgs/Prodigy Logo Large 2014.jpg" width="180" height="180" alt="" style="display:block;">
    What you are seeing as whitespace is the space reserved for glyph descenders on any element that is rendered within a text box (i.e., an inline element). By making the image "display:block" you eliminate that space because a block element doesn't have descenders. If that works to your satisfaction then you can give the logo an id, and create a CSS selector containing that block style.

  • How do I remove all images from my Camera Roll?

    I connect my phone to an iMac and I cannot find an option to view and delete all of the Camera Roll images that have already been imported over many months.  There are 1,500 images in the camera roll and I want to remove them all. 
    I realize that you can 'delete images from device' after you import new photos into iPhoto.  These are older images that I don't want to delete one by one.
    THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

    Open Photos, press the arrow button in the top right corner, tap all the photos you want to delete and press the delete button at the bottom.  (You still have to tap all of them; there's no "delete all" button.)

  • How can I remove the image from an OCR/Image PDF?

    I have some scanned PDFs which have perfect rendering via OCR.  Every word is in the proper place. To make the file size smaller and the text clearer, I would like to remove or detach the image overlay.  How can this be done?  The files are over 90% images in size.
    This is with Acrobat Pro 9 on OS X Snow Leopard, but I assume the technique is independent.
    Thanks for your help.

    No.

  • How do I remove an Image from Project Start Options?

    I am fairily new to Captivate and when I originally created a series of Captivates for a customer, we chose to not have them auto play and chose to have a standard screen show up. After going back and forth, we are back to not having the captivate autoplay but in the mean time, I had uploaded a graphic in my preferences to use as a standard graphic. Now I can't remove the graphic. It's greyed out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you choose the Browse button, to switch to a different image (logo/graphic), import an external file as well.
    The graphic option would not be applicable on Auto Play scenario, there you cna use the Preloader instead.
    Thanks,

  • How do I remove ALL images from a .pdf document?

    How can I strip a PDF document of all its images so that only the test remains?

    In Acrobat there is a Preflight fixup that move images, text, and graphics to separate layers. This allows you to turn the layer that contains the images off. This doesn't get rid of them, but it might be sufficient for your needs. If you want to delete the images, having them on a separate layer makes it easier to select them with the TouchUp Object tool to delete them. Unfortunately, you can't simply delete the images layer. You may also want to remove any graphics (vector) content as well.
