Backdrops, Backgrounds, and Wallpaper
Before I do something I will regret, is there any danger in deleting the Backdrops, Backgrounds, and Wallpaper folders from usr>share. I have my own desktop backgrounds. Thanks.

To see if there is an impact on the system, you can try to move(or backup) the folders to another location. I think there should be no major issues.

Thanks for you suggestion. I did move them into a temp folder with no problem. However, on the menu that pops up when you want to change the desktop background still lists the folder even though there are no files in them. No I have to find out how to edit that menu to remove them.
