[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1577704, member: 71075"] Password protecting the disk image does nothing to it as a file. In other words, it's still a file like any other. The OS can't distinguish between what is and isn't password protected - it looks like any other disk image. This is why you can delete it without providing any sort of credentials. [/QUOTE]
