Don't make it easy for yourself. But you can use the Command Prompt to delete a file.
Let's say that when you open Command Prompt, it apears like this: Just use the DEL command.

Right-click the recycle bin and then hit properties. Then check the box that says: Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.
This will remove all files permantly from the hard drive when deleting.

Hold the shift button while deleting the file or the folder.
Or simply right click on the recycle bin icon and select properties and check the option "do not move files to the recycle bin"
Hazardous may be!

after selecting the file or groups of files you want to delete, hold the shift key and press delete. That deletes the file w/o putting them in the recycle bin.

Right Click on your recycle bin, and select properties. Somewhere in the window is a checkbox option for deleting things straight out (as opposed to storing them in the recycle bin)

Hi Carolyne,
Many ways of going about it.
If you are au fait with re-starting in Dos mode, you could just type
del C:/ "filepath"/"filename."
Or just attack the re-cycle jobby in windows, highlight the offending item, and hit the big Delete key.
However, neither of those methods actually "delete" the file.
It only removes it from the file access table. The file itself is still there, until written over.
If you really want to kill it, then good old Norton Utilities or similar will happily overwrite the file twice with zeros Worthy of having on your machine. Pretty much well & truly gone.
Oh what a tangled web they weave !
All the best with it,
Bob.
