An encrypted dmg file? Just unmount (right-click > Eject...) and move to trash. Empty trash.

Ya Dancer i found out how to do it, only took me three days ha ha

  1. Launch Disk Utility, located at /Applications/Utilities/.
  2. Current hard drives and volumes will display in a list pane on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Hard drives are listed with a generic disk icon, followed by the drive’s size, make, and model. Volumes are listed below their associated hard drive.


  1. Select the hard drive associated with the volume you wish to expand.
  2. Click the ‘Partition’ tab.
  3. Select the existing volume you wish to delete.
  4. Click the ‘-’ (minus or delete) button.
  5. Disk Utility will display a confirmation sheet listing how the volumes will be changed.
  6. Click the ‘Remove’ button.

Thank goodness it was getting me down lol
