Couple of possibilities that I know of.
1.) You may be using this image in a layout in your design program and it keeps track of where these images are. Sometimes it won't even allow you to move them from one folder to another. Example, a pdf, a flexi file ect... Theres a setting someplace I think to keep the design program such as Flexi to keep from tracking the image locations. Try moving the image to another folder. If you can, try deleting from there.
2.) If you are on a network and the image is in a shared folder and someone on the network is using the file.

1) I can't even move the file. I get the same error.
2) I'm on a network. However, the file is not shared.
I was thinking it had to do with Illustrator's "include document thumbnails" or "pdf thumbnail format". I can't even save over the file or rename it. I checked the properties and it's not, locked, read-only or anything.
It looks normal but it won't go away.

Just sorta answered my own question. I used a program to tell me why the file was still "open" and I killed the handle the file was associated with

Why this particular EPS was still open even after restarting is still beyond me.

I've had this happen too.
Sometimes someone who has accessed the file, no longer has the file opened, but their program is still open and hanging on it. Even when the program is closed, ther could a temp file running in the computers memory causing it to hang up.
The only sure fire cure is to reboot all of the computers that can access it. then delete the file before you access it again.
