Hidden pictures in the new photos app

Hi guys! I think there are some hidden pictures in the photos app, because when you don't set your favorite pictures it selects some which are actually not present in the collection and puts them on the live tile.

I have seen this when you delete a picture it could take from hours to days to remove it from slideshow

I don't know about the OPs concern but to update them manually go to settings>applications>photos+camera and tap on the "Shuffle Now" button to update the tiles.

This is not a problem. These are embedded in the app itself!

I have something similar. I removed some photos from my favourites and have set my favourites for the tile background. But when I resatart my phone, they again get appear in the favourites sections. This keeps happening and everytime with the same photos.

Here are the pictures I was talking about. They are somehow embedded in the app itself and begin shuffling on the photos tile right after you hard reset or first use your phone. These neither can be found in the app nor are included in the backgrounds folder for the start screen. Is there a way to get them somehow?
