I am using sonoma 14 on an imac 24inch M1 and am having trouble understanding anything about wallpaper behaviour.
Searches elsewhere indicate that wallpapers could be stored at
/library/application support/com.apple.idleassersd/customer/4KSDR20FPS
When I go there, all the folders under /customer are empty.
I tried to so a Spotlight search and an ordinary search for 4KSDR20FPS thinking that this folder might be stored elsewhere but both searches returned absolutely nothing not even the folder in /library/application support/com.apple.idleassersd/customer.

The reason I want to find the wallpaper files is that I cannot get rid of the default wallpaper. I have tried replacing it with other pictures but every time I start up, the default returns. I want to delete ALL wallpapers from my mac and replace them with only the one that I want but I cannot locate the installed wallpapers.
The frustrating thing is that after I downloaded the sonoma upgrade, I was able to set one of my photos as my wallpaper and this worked without a problem until a power outage occurred and after I restarted, the default wallpaper came up and has stayed. I have tried restarting in safe mode and resetting VRAM but that did not do anything.
Is there anything I can do?
