Deleted background keeps showing up!

Hey all,
One of the sample pictures (the yellow flower one to be specific), suddenly started appearing as the background in the hometab. I have no idea how it got there, but I've tried everything to change it back.
- I changed the manila file 4a087e41_manila
- I chose another pictures from the file explorer and set it as background
- And I changed it through today settings.
The last 2 seem to only change the background when not using TF3D.
I even deleted the sample picture from the pictures folder.
My questions would be:
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Does anyone know of a solution to this, or any idea on how to fix this?

Did you do a soft reset after deleting pic and setting another as background?

Re: Deleted background keeps showing up!

thats because you have to go into the TF3d settings to change wallpapers, file manager then selected backround is not the correct way to set tf3d wallpapers

Yes, I actually soft reset after doing all of the things I did. And also repeated some of the steps. And also soft reset the device a couple of extra times because I just couldn't believe the bg not changing back (even after replacing the manila file..lol) I wonder if messing around with ##PRT# could've caused this? Or if there could be any possible way that while it was in my pocket I got into some menu that i know not off and selected it? Any other way than the ones I mentioned to change the background you know of?

He means the second to last tab in TF3d... then wallpaper.

I don't think it is exactly the same. Cuz you'll notice in the Today screen options TF3D is it's own option to be displayed on the Today screen. If you un-check it you're suddenly back in Mogul land where that background picture will apply. The Settings > background is like a subsidiary of TF3D. Try this. It may help.

Re: Deleted background keeps showing up!

here's something to try, if you have a tool to edit your registry, look for and delete the value of the following key.

Code:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
CachedBackground \path\to\old\background
Delete the \path\to\old\background
that's just a guess..
