Actualy it's not logical if you haven't seen a OS do this before. So not
that strange I hope

>> Ok, that is your desktop wallpaper foto's chances are they get cached
somewhere, this is not an image management program,  you should be able to
find and delete this images... you can try using Ububtu Tweak to clean out
your cache files or search for an wallpaper folder under your home
folder...  it might be a folder or two in... removing files there should
remove as you would like it to
