[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1359070"] Rik.: I didn't understand the full nature of the question. You want a command that both moves the file to the trash AND empties the trash. I don't know of one, but that's not to say it doesn't exist. The Mac is set up to be very user-friendly, and immediate unrecoverable deletion isn't something that's wired into the DNA so I doubt there is any BUILT-IN system for doing what you want (apart from perhaps some automator action or something like that). But I would bet there's a third-party way of doing what you want. Though the OS is designed to be user-friendly, it's also based on UNIX, meaning ANYTHING a user might want to do is possible with sufficient know-how. [/QUOTE]
