Hi Stephen, This sounds perfectly normal to me. 1. You Attach an image that is located on the Desktop to a new email message 2. Once the email message (with the attached image on the desktop) has been sent, you place the image on the desktop in the Trash 3. Try too 'Empty Trash' and you Receive a message ‘The operation can’t be completed because the item “xxx.jpg” is still in use.’ You are Unable to Empty the trash until you Quit Mail This is normal I feel, because Mail is still holding on to the 'link to the location of the image'. Once you Quit Mail and reopen Mail you are then able to Empty the Trash.
