With iOS 16 (on my iPhone 8) I tried many of the solutions suggested for deleting a wallpaper. My "touch and hold" on the Lock Screen never worked so I finally just went into Wallpaper in Settings. Swiping up didn't show any Trash button. What I tried then was just to select a wallpaper I wanted to change and tapped the Photos button on the bottom left and selected a new photo from my Photos. That worked and it changed. I never was able to actually delete an already set wallpaper, just change it.
