The help documentation clearly states that if you have created an Image object by calling Image.FromFile then that file is locked until the Image object is Disposed. This means that you need to call Dispose on the PictureBox.Image to release the file. You can use Image.FromStream to create an Image without locking the file in the first place.

jmcilhinney is correct, here is another alternative...something similar on another thread (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=908026&postcount=12)
