Deleting files

[gtext]

Is there any way to delete files without them going into the trash?

yes you can pour petrol over computer and light it.

Via the command line:

cd ~/Documents
rm Outofdatedocument.txt

Thanks.

[abure]

why wouldnt you want them to go to trash

[AusMac]

sending to trash is a two stage exit stage left

Not sitting on a Mac atm (trust me im feeling the pain). Anyways, after selecting the file/s then press Command+Delete.

I just cant remember if thats force delete or you need another key pressed aswell.

Command+delete = moves to trash
Command+Shift+delete = empties the trash

but everyone knows that.
