Delete Without Moving To Recycle Bin
December 12, 2007
If you want to delete a file in Windows Vista you probably just hit the DELETE key on the keyboard.
Well, this just sends the file to the Recyle Bin.
Perhaps you might want to delete a file without sending it there first?
If that is the case simply select the file as normal and then use the key combo:
SHIFT + DELETE
This will then bypass the recyle bin and delete the file from your PC.
