Note that once your iDisk is deactivated as described above, you get an image with whatever was stored on it; you are free to copy or delete that data as you wish.
Hope this helps someone else; the solution was not obvious to me.

Once your .Mac account has expired, the iDisk will remain on the Desktop. I tried getting rid of it, to no avail, until I was instructed by .Mac support to explicitly remove my name and password information from the .Mac System Preferences pane.

How to remove iDisk after .Mac account expires
I had the same problem, and was given the same solution. However, I was NOT told that this would have other effects, and this is the reason for my response. Removing .mac login details did indeed remove the iDisk, but it also removed the .mac mail account in Mail.app. Fortunately, I had cleared out the email that I required, as there were no traces of the few remaining messages anywhere. So if you are removing your desktop iDisk, clear out your mail.app account first! R

Does this also remove your iChat login? Supposedly, one can sign up for the .Mac trial, and when it expires, you keep your iChat login. I've been meaning to do this, but if I 'clean up' the iDisk and then lose the iChat login, there's no point, unless I put up with the dead iDisk on my desktop.
