With history do you mean the list of wallpapers you get when you do a right click on the desktop and select "Configure" (the term might differ as I translated it from German)?
You can remove the wallpapers you downloaded yourself by moving the mouse over the wallpaper you want to delete and clicking at the red cross in the upper left corner. Or, if you want to remove many simultaneously, you can open ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/ or ~/.kde/share/wallpapers/ and remove the wallpapers there.

@ JanGerrit :

Thanks for replying... Yes I do mean through the Configure Dialog from the right click on the plasma desktop.

But, I'm sorry I wasn't specific... I dont download any wallpapers through the KDE wallpaper downloader. I was reffering to pictures on hy HDD that I use as wallpapers on plasma.

Sorry once again.

Cheers! ;D

Okay, I'm not sure about this, but maybe it works:
Edit: Well, I tested it so I'm sure.

  • Open a Konsole.
  • Execute
    Code: Select all
    kquitapp plasma-desktop
    in order to quit plasma-desktop.
  • Open ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc or ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
    in an editor.
  • Search for the entries userswallpapers=. They contain the wallpaper history so you can remove them.
  • Start plasma-desktop again with
    Code: Select all
    plasma-desktop
    Now you can quit Konsole.
