Following the procedure in this forum post, seems to solve the issue. At least for me it does the trick. Del key works as expected (sending file to trashcan) when a file is selected, but in rename mode it deletes the text and not the file.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11075004&postcount=3 Any affected user can confirm this works? I think it could be either a bad default config, or some unity configuration conflicting whith gnome classic, as I'm quite sure I've never modified accelerator keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496789 Title: Nautilus rename mode is broken.

When during rename you press delete button to delete character or selected few characters the file (or folder) you are trying to rename is deleted instead. So far, I've been able to find deleted items in Trash and restore them. When renaming with cut & paste or printing characters everything is fine.
