[QUOTE="Rik., post: 1359077, member: 233110"] Hi chas. Yes. I want to quickly delete an unwanted file. In Windows, I can click to select a file/picture and then just press Shift+Delete and rather than the system moving this file/picture to the Recycle Bin, it deletes it. I work with a lot of images. Simple and complex images that I have made and then saved. Once I have used these images, I then just want to delete them. Why do I want to permanently delete these images? Well, quite often, I make different versions and see which looks best. Once I have done that, I now want to delete all of these versions. They are simply not needed any more. I have no problem with permanently deleting these saved images because the programme I used to create these images, still has the created drawing. Now, if the Mac 'Trash' allowed you to delete individual items, then I wouldn't even be asking the question. I don't always want to empty the Trash completely. This is nothing to do with what you would do or what someone else would do. It's about allowing the user to do what the user wants. That's what good software should do. Allow flexibility and win more users. This is not a criticism and no defence of the Mac world is necessary. I am asking about functionality and it seems that it can't be done on a Mac?! [/QUOTE]
