Hi,

Have you tried restarting the Mac and deleting? If no luck, try booting into Safe Mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support and see if the issue persists there. You may have to just wait awhile for it to send.

I rebooted and it goes away but the weird thing is that the message disappears down a black hole. No record of it on my computer, just ... gone! Never had that happen before. Thanks for your help.
