How to free an image shown in Picture Box in VB.net

Question

We are using VB.net 2003. Suppose we show an image(picked from hard disk) in a picturebox .
Now I want to remove this image from picturebox and Overwrite/ Delete the image i loaded earlier in picturebox. How can we do that ?
I have used the command :
picturebox.image=nothing
This makes the picturebox empty. But when try to delete/overwrite the image shown in picturebox earlier, using file.delete then it gives the message "Can't delete , File is being used by the process" . Can anybody give me some solution ?

Just a thought but you might try something like this: C#: pbx.Image = null; pbx = new PictureBox(); VB.NET: pbx.Image = nothing pbx = New PictureBox()
