[QUOTE="Rik., post: 1359124, member: 233110"] I'm not sure any logic is needed! I've read that many people delete things to then go to the Trash some time later and then decide that they really don't need the trashed item any more. I've also explained that I work with many images and there are times even I will simply move the item to the Recycle Bin (Trash), to then decide later that I really want to delete it now. Most of the time, I simply want to delete the file. Not move it to Trash. How you work is not necessarily how everyone else works. Also, why would you want to compare a deleted file to food? ;D Please stop asking why anyone would want to do this. Clearly people do because I was able to find this in the Apple Support Forum. Anyway, for anyone who is interested, you can add a command to your Right-Click menu to permanently delete a file. [B][COLOR="Red"]DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.[/COLOR][/B] Careful: When you choose this option, then you don't get a 'Yes/No' option. The file will simply be deleted. So, choose this, if like me, you really want to delete and not just move to Trash. If you want to play it safe, then move things to Trash, and then this command also allows you to delete individual files from Trash. In fact, you can multiple delete as well. I have attached a document with instructions and an image to help with the process. [ATTACH=full]16729[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16730[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
