Why would you want to do that. You aren't really saving any time etc.
by just emptying the trash. If your that determined to get rid of the
file and avoid it going to the trash. I suggest you open Terminal,
locate the file, and issue the rm filename which will remove the file.
FOr a folder you can do something like rm -rf foldername and poof,
it's gone. Using rm totally bypasses the trash so it's really gone and
only to be recovered from a backup or some real disk surgery.

Randy,
What I want to do is remove a file or folder with it not going to
the trash. I know there is a way to do this in winblows.

No problem, Olivia. When you think of it command shift backspace
and the others mentioned are finder commands. I didn't think
about that because the finder is always there. It is one of
those things that just is.

I found that I have to be either on the desktop or have a
finder window open in order to make command shift backspace
empty the trash. Sitting on the doc or within an application
causes that shortcut not to work.
Hth,

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. I have just been
emptying trash using the finder menu. Perhaps I don't have a
backspace key on the macbook?

Hello Marty,
The easiest way to empty the trash is to press Command-
Option-Shift-Backspace. You'll hear an emptying trash noise.
Cheers,

Hi all, I'm posting to both lists, so I hope filters don't
break, but
here's something I received last night called apple
soundtrack from a
friend who helped me set up skype on the mac, and the
youtube channel
this came from is solomania9, and here's the url for the
video, and if
you want to hear the original source as it was uploaded,
just add at

Now, for a question about dealing with the trash, and that
is, that
when I would try and delete the trash, using the following
steps, go to
the dock with vo-d, right arrow to the trash, and once
there, down
arrow to empty trash, and press enter, a dialog would come
up, but it,
apparently, would be hidden from me, because immediately,
the computer
would go into this busy mode, and I would lose speech with
voice over,
and I have a mac mini, so how does one empty the trash
successfully
with a mac mini? I couldn't find the okay buttons or any
of the
buttons in the dialog, and I don't know if it was because
of that, when
I shut down, my mac mini didn't shut down, or maybe it was
trying to
update, not sure, but I hit the power button, and held it
in, until the
computer shut off, re-started the machine, and shut down,
and it did
the same thing, and this time, I waited, and it shut down
after about a
couple or 3 minutes, but I wonder what I did, or what was
going on to
make it do that? The person who helped me with skype
helped me with
the trash, but I wonder if the mac mini's have a problem
with the trash
folder, or is this a weakness in the mac operating system?
Thanks in
advance, a loaded question, but hope somebody can help me
out.
