I deleted a photo from iPhoto, but it stills shows up in the same file when i am looking for photos to change the desktop background. I check again in iPhoto to see if it is there, but it isnt. so how do I get rid of the photo.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
Empty the Trash in iPhoto.
Also my iPhoto trash is empty

Click on the minus sign to get rid of the picture after selecting same.
Well I couldn't delete it that way, but it helped me locate the folder and delete the folder with the picture, but the picture is still shown as an option for a desktop background although it cannot be used. How do I get rid of it
Close the preference pane and reopen it.
I did that too
Rebuild the Spotlightindex. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
Launch System Preferences and test.
Did you empty the trash in both iPhoto & the trashcan in the Dock?
Yes I emptied the trash in both iPhoto and the trashcan in the Dock
