I have 2 pdf's on my screen using OSX and they will not close or go away. If I click on either of them Preview opens and the cursor spins as if it is taking time to work them out. Moving the cursor to anything to do with Preview does not work it starts spinning again. I would like to know how to unlock the Mac in Preview. I canuse all other programmes whilst this is happening

It's possible another program or process is accessing the PDF files and they won't delete while that's happening. Have you tried rebooting your machine and then attempt to delete the two files?
