Yes, Its most likely that it is still being used by another program. Very common error.
Try closing all programs, like for example if you downloaded off an p2p client.
or reboot and try to delete.

this sounds like it might have a virus attached. try to break down the pic by right click, properties and see where it is/title. then click search, type in the name of the pic, when it finds it, delete from the search. good luck.

Spyware Doctor, or run your virus scan. It is most likely some type of spy crap you got....
