Remove folder from desktop background directory

[garuda]

I right-clicked a JPG photo file and then accidently selected "Set as desktop background". The entire folder containing many other pics was also moved to the "Desktop Background Directory" and I can't delete the pic files or the folder.

Is it possible to remove this unwanted folder from the drop-down list for "picture location"? That path is Start Orb > Control Panel > Appearance&Personalization > Personalization > Change desktop background > Picture location dropdown.

It should be easy. Just change the location to where your desired background is.

To delete, right click on desktop > personalize > right click on the unwanted theme folder > delete. This folder must not be an active desktop folder at that time.
