Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

When browsing through file context menu, I've noticed that I couldn't
find a command to delete it. Only after examining each item, I found
"Move to trash".

IMHO it's unintuitive. An user doesn't want to move a file/folder, but
to remove it (the fact that there's an undo - a trash, shouldn't change
the terminology). The term "move" misses what user wants to do.

Simple "Delete" would be *much easier to spot*, especially when the menu
has many items (16 in my case). It would be simpler and it would be
shorter.

When user enables permanent deleting in preferences, the term could be
"Delete permanently".


The issue was already raised many times before in some places
(e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/usabil...@gnome.org/msg03430.html - see 4. 
"Move to Trash"
or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007979 - task "Search sample 
document from a specific option, delete and then restore it.") but no action 
was taken.
