You don't because you can't. Wallpapers provided by Apple as part of iOS are built into iOS and are not user deletable. You don't have to use them. You can choose any photo you want as a wallpaper, but remove what is built into iOS is not possible.

What dots! Screen shot please!

Apple don't supply or enforce wallpaper, they supply images to use as wallpaper if you don't have an image of your own. They do not change or modify your choice.

If your chosen photo is becoming corrupted then that is a different matter. Try a different image that is out of your Photos app.
