Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail:

What happens when you try?
Do you get a warning? If so what is it.
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and see if you can move it out of the Trash bin. Then reboot normally.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Your suggestion to shut down and restart in Safe mode solved the problem. Thank you.
You're welcome.
