Because DELE is the name for the command used to delete files in FTP. If
you're uploading a file with the same name as one that is already there,
some FTP clients may choose to delete the file first.

What are you using as an FTP client? Do you get a more explanatory message
when you try this with a command-line FTP client?

The first question, and I apologise if this was the first thing you
checked, but is that really the name of the file? Occasionally, FTP
clients translate file names or characters.

Finally, is this a file that is being accessed by the web server on your
machine, or some other application? If the file is locked open, that might
prevent the FTP server from deleting the file.

Alun.
