Unix Privileges on deleting

Hi,
just a little question:
I have a file "byJohn" owned by "john" (group "unknown") which has "none"
privileges for owner, group and everyone.
If I logged in as "robert", I should NOT be able to delete that file, since
it has "none" for owner, group and everyone. Instead I can delete it, and I
did it. Also, the API isDeletableFileAtPath tells me that file is really
deletable.

The file "byJohn" is inside a folder "A" which has "ReadAndWrite" privileges
for owner, group and everyone. Is this the reason why I was able to delete
that file? I am just a little bit confused about privileges.

Any help would be appreciated.
