Thanks Shawn. All that did was show the background file that was in Firefox. It didn't show any others (??)
I still have it installed, I didn't remove it yet.
However, it helped me find it. The Firefox location was in Roaming. I looked at others in Roaming and found it under Internet Explorer. I had looked at Roaming before but didn't look at the Internet Explorer as I use Edge.

Here's where my personal wallpaper images are stored on my Win10 machine:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\RoamedThemeFiles\DesktopBackground
Hope this helps, if you haven't already found out the answer elsewhere.
Got close. I found one there and deleted it directly and it disappeared from the Pictures Win10 offered to recall, but not all of them.
Some other old pictures are still showing as tiny examples in Settings for Background, but the files themselves are nowhere to be found.
They're not in ~Windows ~web folders either.
One I've just added and used isn't there, either.
Maybe they've had their extensions lopped off somewhere, as the Lockscreen images have had in
c:\Users\[uname]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets\
The hunt continues.
It may be worth continuing with this thread although the location of wallpaper updates may be common knowledge by now.
In this folder (change [uname] to yours)
c:\Users\[uname]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets\
there are files with names like:

These are the graphics files.
I order them by size, with two windows/panels like Total Commander's I copy the largest across to an empty folder. Then with TC's Multi Rename Tool (^M) I take say 16 characters ([N1-16]) and add a jpg extension.
Then they're quite viewable.
