how to permanently delete photo in iphoto '11

I have to get a pic off of my computer and out of my cloud --- permanently (old pic of an ex - haha). I selected the photo and a yellow outline of the photo appeared. I clicked DELETE and it disappeared from my iPhoto library. But when I was streaming photos to my tv over Apple TV the picture came up - even though I deleted it. Anybody know how I can fix this? thanks

To delete a photo from the HD in iPhoto 11:


Drag the pic from the Library (Events or Photos view) to the iPhoto Trash.


Empty it - this sends the file to the System Trash, so empty that too.


But when I was streaming photos to my tv over Apple TV the picture came up - even though I deleted it.


This is a cached image.


Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.


Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.


Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
