Below are how to delete the Windows 10 account picture you have set and how to revert Windows 10 default account picture. They worked for me and I hope they worked for you as well.
How to Delete Account Picture
If you want to delete the account pictures that you no longer want to use just open up File Explorer by pressing Win+E and paste the following path into the address bar, changing the <Username> part to your current user account name. If you’re unsure of the folder name, you can also just browse to the location.
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
Windows address bar
How to Revert Windows 10 Default Account Picture
