homepage photo removals?
Help from the forum!? I am continually updating and changing my homepage and noticing my iDisk is getting more and more full. When deleting a homepage it gives the standard warning that this removal is permanent and non reversable. I think "okay, great, exactly what I want" Then I go into the iDisk pictures folder and there under 'photo album pictures' all of my photos from waaaaaay back are STILL there??? The photo names are of the 86r97lx88 non descript variety. I manually went through and deleted many, but there must be a better, easier way?
My question then is...when deleting hompage photos or parts of a homepage....Is there a way to delete all associated back up or image files from the iDisk in one fell swoop?
Does this situation make sense to anyone else. I've been looking for an answer from Apple support and Appleinsider, but I haven't seen the question raised before.
Thanks,

On a related matter, why can't I easily add/subtract photos from an album in Homepage? It seems nonsensical that if I want to add a photo or two to an existing album, I have to delete the old photo album and upload the new one. How inefficient is that.
Panther is supposed to make the use of iDisk easier, and we'll find out shortly. Anyone using the last Panther build able to offer any insight on iDisk and Homepage performance?
conversely if you're deleting a page all you have to is trash the file dedicated to the page. then edit away the page, i'll assume you have the pics elsewhere or backed up some other way.
I'm at the point that I should trash the entire folder and start over. It just seems there should be a better way. Apples attention to detail is usually astounding and this seems messy. The front end of the process is easy and looks great. It's this back end, the guts, that don't seem as user friendly. Hmmmm....maybe it's their subtle way of coaxing us to buy more disk space!
but yeah, i would either sit down and sort it all out in one day or delete them all and start all over. but from the edit page you can at least get a thumbnail of the photo, that's something apple does that can be really helpful in this case.
Apple really needs to rework this filing system to be a bit more intuitive. And besides, I shouldn't have to spend my time mucking around iDisk trying to delete photos that Homepage failed to do so - Apple products are supposed to easier to use than this.
p.s. if para 1 doesn't make sense it's because I'm sitting at a PC as I type this and am doing my best to remember things.
