If you didn't change the default value for CacheOption the file is locked by the BitmapImage object. You need to specify BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad.
Assuming you created Bitmaps from all the images in the image folder this sounds like a known problem with the Bitmap class - it keeps a file lock on the file you created it from until you call dispose. Also see this thread: . NET app locks file.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
