Deleting the .journal file on a mounted ext3 filesystem could easily corrupt the entire filesystem. Don't do it. It's only safe to delete a .journal file if you mounted it as ext2. Then do not forget to turn off the ext3 flag with tune2fs because otherwise the kernel might try to mount it as ext3 and get very confused because there is no journal there.
