Eraser free secure delete tool
Adds erase to your right click menu and overwrites what you want deleted with random numbers, obliterating it.

 

Thanks to all - I did finally get the pictures deleted - & unfortunately - I don't know why it was doing that & how I finally managed to get rid of them all.

I know this post is late and the problem has been taken care of but I did run across this bit of nfo and thought it would be handy to include in the post for future use:
If you receive an error message which says: Cannot Delete Filename, Access Is Denied, The Source File May Be In Use, you may have tried to delete an image from the My Pictures folder or from another folder.

Microsoft notes that if Web view is enabled, and you open the My Pictures folder or any customized folder that uses the Image Preview template, selected images display in the Image Preview window and are considered in use.

So, while the image is being drawn, a Generating Preview...message displays in the Image Preview window, and the file locks up so you cannot delete it. To disable Web view, select Folder Options from the Tools menu, then click the General tab's Use Windows Classic Folders option.

----- while this description does mention errors on a deletion attempt it does demonstate that complex considerations may need to given when dealing with the special folder "My Pictures ". No thumbnails, no preview, no opened picture.

Appriciate your info - but I have to tell you - I did not get any error messages saying I cannot delete these pictures - I am still at a lost to what happened - & even more confusing is why I was finally able to delete them after them copying themselves over 500 times!!!
Thanks again,
Lucy
