I have tried replacing the Mojave.heic in Library/Desktop Pictures, I looked into the Cache and so on... it seems imposible to get rid of that wallpaper.

Anybody any ideas why the Desert Day Wallpaper always shows up (with FileVault enabled)
 
i mentioned this in another thread; am seeing that too, and i don't use filevault.

the only way i've (so far) found to get rid of it (and only see my selected wallpaper) is to disable the 'guest' account, something i don't want to do (it's essential to 'find my mac').

the mojave wallpaper also shows up behind "you shut down your computer because of a problem"...
 
I suspect that the FileVault logon wallpaper is in the Recovery or Preboot volume. The main volume has not been unlocked yet so it cannot come from there.

This^^^^. FileVault boot is a bare-bones setup. And doing a quick scan in that file system, not seeing any wallpaper elements. Just, basically, a pre-linked kernel, and the account/password information.
