What is going on with my iDisk? Today I decided I wanted to update my Homepage and discovered that I couldn't upload any pictures because I am over my capacity. A quick look at Backup showed I was backing up files I didn't need to. Anyway, I tried to delete the files to free up space, but iDisk comes back with an error message saying "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."

WTF? I am the administrator of this computer and the only user. I tried restarting, logging into .Mac via Safari first, logging in as a su in terminal but nothing works. How do I regain control of my iDisk? I tried Cocktail but it couldn't delete the files either.

I did a search but didn't find anything.

Thanks.....

EDIT: I just noticed that my "Download" folder that was on my Desktop is gone. I didn't delete it, where did it go? The file that is causing all of my problems was in the folder and now that that folder is gone, maybe iDisk can't find the original source and therefore won't let me delete it?

Finally figured it out....the file was put there by Backup. I had to launch Backup and delete everything while I was inside Backup. My space (and sanity) has been recovered.
