Deleting an image which is opened in picturebox:

  {
      lblimgname.Text = "Right Thumb 1";
      string savepath = @"C:/BrainScript/" + clientname + "/";

      FileStream fs = new FileStream(savepath + clientname + "_" + lblimgname.Text + ".jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

      Image img = Image.FromStream(fs);
      fs.Close();
      picRightthumb1.Image = img.Clone() as Image;

      img.Dispose();

      File.Delete(savepath + clientname + "_" + lblimgname.Text + ".jpg");
   }

    private Image GetCopyImage(string path)
    {

      using (Image im = Image.FromFile(path))
          {
          Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(im);

I used the following code and it works fine:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   FileStream file = new FileStream("1.jpg", FileMode.Open);
   pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(file);
   file.Close();

   File.Delete("1.jpg");
}
