I'm just wondering... I have iDisk, and today I tried to delete an image from the Sites folder that I used for a post. But iDisk says I can't delete it because it is in use. So this means if someone is viewing my image somewhere, I can't delete it?

I tried going to the iDisk volume with Terminal and deleting the file, and it deleted fine. Just wondering why iDisk wouldn't let me do it within the Finder?

Your iDisk might have been connected to .Mac to make sure the files were synced at the time you tried to delete.
