Hi,
I love this app. It seems to be not active but nevertheless here's an idea:

The app could have ability to remove or replace the dynamic wallpapers. Currently the process is manual and quite complicated afaik, you need to go to two directories and delete corresponding files/folders.

What do you think?
I've looked into code but it is not something I'm familiar with, unfortunately.

I think this would be a nice feature to have. However, for anyone that came here looking for instructions on how to remove a wallpaper created by this app, the manual process is relatively simple.

In the Home folder, navigate to the following directories and delete the files/folders corresponding to the wallpaper you want to remove:

.local/share/gnome-background-properties
.local/share/backgrounds

Note that the .local directory is a hidden folder, so you need to make sure "Show Hidden Files" is enabled (by pressing Ctrl+H in the files app, or by going to the menu in the files app and selecting "Show Hidden Files").

Hi everyone, I have created a new PR implementing this idea as I also had issues trying to replace some images 😅
Let me know if some updates are required, I will be happy to help this move forward.
