Comment:

 Hi @kebbet,

 Can you confirm that the menu item you are referring to is the `Appearance
 > Background` link? If so, I am able to reproduce this.

 I am not sure that there is a good way to fix this, though. The Customizer
 is not loaded unless the user is actually in the Customizer, so the admin
 menu would not be able to know if a plugin or theme is removing the
 background image section.

 To me, this seems like the plugin or theme should also remove this admin
 submenu item.

 Can you talk a bit about your use case and why you're removing the
 Customizer section for background images instead of removing/not
 registering theme support?
