If I understand this correctly, the message is telling you that you cannot throw away the item because it is in use still. Have you tried quitting out of the application which opened the item? This will usually overcome this problem in my experience.

Got a G4 running OSX 10.1.5 and when I try and empty the trash can it says its in use. I'm still getting used to OSX and on the old system I used to rebuild desktop regularly and use disk first aid so what's the equivalent to this now? I opened Disk Utility but option to run First Aid is greyed out, and I haven't had chance to upgrade Norton yet.
