Can you find out who owns the other files and have them moved or deleted?

Of course, this is a good reason to:
1.  Put your code up in a ZIP file instead of a directory
2.  Don't put your code in another person's directory

A third reason is that the directory's date doesn't change when files are
added or changed.  There is no way that anyone can tell that the directory
has been updated (besides an exhaustive search or an announcement on this
list).

An ugly solution.  Maybe a moderator can help.
