If you are fed up with deleting files twice – once in the folder and once in Recycle Bin, you can bypass the Recycle Bin and files will be deleted right away. One way to do it is to select the file(s) for deletion and to press Shift+Delete. An alternative way, if you want permanently to bypass Recycle Bin is to right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, select Properties from the resulting menu and in the Global tab put a tick in front of Do Not Move Files to the Recycle Bin. Remove Files Immediately When Deleted (if drives are not configured independently, as in this screenshot – a BypassingRecycleBin.gif) or put a tick in front of the above-mentioned setting for each drive (if the drives are configured separately).
