and because is temp i want to replace it with another image for further use, but the program still using that image and i cannot do anything.

I had a similar problem and could not use using, since the file was overwritten by some asynchronous code. I solved the issue by making a copy of the Bitmap and freeing the original one:

                Bitmap tmpBmp = new Bitmap(fullfilename);
                Bitmap image= new Bitmap(tmpBmp);
                tmpBmp.Dispose();
