File Vault Help

I think I might be missing something obvious! I am trying to have files in vault so that they can't be opened without a password - is that the purpose of the file vault? I've tried following the steps in the instructions for a file vault and I can create one and add files to it. But then the original files are still there and can be opened (without a password) even when I lock the vault. Should I be deleting the files? Or am I missing something obvious?


I appreciate any and all help!
