TIME MACHINE FILE IN TRASH

I dragged an "in Progress" file from Time Machine into the Trash. Now I can't get rid of it. The message is that the file is in use. What can I do?

Safe Boot then empty the trash.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
