as long as nobody knows a whole lot about computers you should be ok. What is the picture of that is so important that nobody sees it?

Open the picture in a photo editor and deface it so it can't be recognized. Save the changes. Then delete it. If it ever were to be recovered, nobody would know what it was.
Just FYI, deleting an item from the Recycle Bin does not mean it's permanently deleted. It *can* be recovered. Hence the reason I suggested defacing the picture first.

If this is a stand alone computer, I.E., it is not connected to a network or server, then you can simply delete the graphic and empty the Recycle bin. the picture will be gone. If, on the other hand, this computer is part of a business network, and depending on how the IT has set the RAID there will probably be a copy of this file/picture on the "backup" drive in the server.
