then you are going to need administrator's help. Does one of your pages
permit writing to your html tree? You probably need to watch that for
this reason and for security reasons.

Sounds like they should also enlist the admin's help to change the write
permissions in their own user space.  "Other" users shouldn't be able to
write or modify their files, it's just asking for trouble.

Why is your public_html directory writable by apache?  That is the real
issue.

Who owns the public_html directory? (cd /home/USER;ls -ld public_html)

Assuming public_html is in your home directory tree, you can change the
permissions and ownership from the directory above it to allow you to
delete it.
