Hello,
This problem is solved simply. If go into the terminal, and use the rm
command in order to delete your files, they are not moved to the ~.trash
directory. Unfortunately, their doesn't seem to be a way to change this
behavior from within the GUI, but perhaps other users will correct me.
The Command + Shift +Back Space key stroke does not work for me in OS 10.9.5.

I believe if you use command-shift-backspace, that bypasses the Trash and

You Sure” dialog when emptying the trash by using cmd-option-shift-delete
reducing one step along the way. In my opinion, opening Terminal and using the
“rm” command also does not actually make it any faster as
Hi,
I believe you can set up the Empty Trash function to perform a secure erase
where the deleted data is overwritten. You pay a time penalty to do this but
it will be more secure.

Unlike Windows, there does not seem to be a way to permanently
delete a file. It goes to Trash then you Empty Trash. Its a good safety
measure but there are times its an unnecessary extra step.
Are either of these apps accessible? Trash X and Trash Without. Or
are there other apps that
