Hi - Try restarting your mac in safe mode and then trying.

Then restart normally, and try again.

Safe mode will clear temporary files and caches, and sometimes fixes odd glitches such as this.

It should bring up a menu where one of the choices is to delete the photo. I use the trackpad and control click.
