why can't I delete items from the preview app?

On a MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.3

Cleaning up and removing photos, accomplished in Photos app, but the same ones remain in Preview?

Why is this and how can I delete them? The delete option under Edit in the panel is not dark (not available).

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Not versed enough to remind it now. It is when one double clicks on a photo in MacMail and a little Preview window comes up to show it ........ (which has happened by accident to me)......and then those are stored someplace .........maybe one of the other 5 people who say they have this issue might be able to reply more intelligently about it?
