You can't delete a file which is being used (by you or anyone else) at the moment you want to delete it.
If the computer can't find the file then it, obviously, can't delete it.
The short answer to your question, as written, is "You can't".
Perhaps if you give us some more details we can help more?

Depends on what the "item" is that you are trying to remove.
If it is a system file, STOP!
What is the "item" maybe we can better help if we know what it is.
