Is the provided screen grab what you see or is it something you've pasted in from the internet instead? If it's what you're seeing then hold down the option (alt) key when selecting Empty Bin. Doing so should unlock the item in the bin and delete it. If that does not work then you could try using Terminal instead. But only if you're comfortable in doing so.
