Help modify/delete sd card contents

[nismospec]

so when an app states that it wants permission to "modify/delete sd card contents" when installing....does that mean it can somehow delete things like pictures on my phone?

I haven't seen this on my moment, but my sis has the "my touch 3G" and some of her apps are giving her this warning.

thoughts?

More than likely it just means the app will be storing certain data on the SD card and will have the ability to modify or delete than data based on what its needs are. For instance, some music player apps that find and then display album covers store that data to your SD card.
