Sometimes you just know you want to delete a file-that there’s simply no reason for it to first temporarily be placed in the Recycle Bin.  Sometimes you just know it would be silly to clog up your Recycle Bin with files that you’ll absolutely positively never need again.

In cases such as these, use the “Shift Shortcut” to bypass the Recycle Bin and delete your files for good.  To use the shortcut, press and hold down your keyboard’s Shift key as you press Delete (or select the Delete command from a right-click drop-down menu).  A confirmation request will pop up. Say yes and-BAM-the file gets permanently deleted into the ether, never to be found on your machine again.
