    77I've had a GoDaddy Shared hosting account for over 3 years. In the beginning it was a Microsoft installation, then I changed to Linux, and recently I changed their provided Dashboard to cPanel. During that process a .htaccess file has appeared and disappeared several times. Currently I can't find it in cPanel, and GoDaddy advised me not to worry about it. I just uninstalled the New Nines Adaptive Images plugin (no longer available on WordPress.org) and was trying to delete some rewrite code from my .htaccess file that I had added months ago. Can't file the .htaccess file on GoDaddy's server to remove it. I don't know if I should worry about it or not.
