Just a note. To permanently delete a file or files instead of sending them to the recycle bin, press Shift+Delete, not Control+Delete. I'm sure it was just a typo related to using the control key to select multiple files.Regards, Tom On 10/10/2019 12:51 PM, Curtis Delzer via Talk wrote:you probably have lots of answers by now, though since this is what I do, I'll outline it for you.Find the first file you wish to delete, hold down the control key, go to the next file you wish to delete, press space bar, go to the next file you wish to delete, tap the space bar, (remember during all this the control key is held down), and so forth until you have hit space bar on all the files you wish to remove.Now, after letting up on control, hit delete.If you wish to truly delete all those files and don't wish them in recycle bin, hit control delete.You should get a prompt which is a wee bit different than "moving to recycle bin." :)Hope this helps, though late.

Listers, I have tried figuring this out, but seem to be blank-minded today. Anyone has some experience, please let me know. I have a folder, holding numerous files. I open it in Windows Explorer, and arrow my way down through the list of files.It occurs, that I need to delete several of the files. Fine, if they hadbeen right next to each other, I would have used the Shift-Arrowcombinations - selecting the files to be deleted, and then press Del-key.Thing is, the files are spread out all over the list. I need to delete say file number 1, 4 and 6. So exactly how do I go about that one. I searched the net, and it said to use the CTRL-key, along with the mouse. If I hold the CTRL along with the Slash or Star on the numeric keypad, simulating the Left or Right clicks on the mouse, I only hear "Slash" and "Star" spoken, and nothing else happens.It further claimed you alternatively should use CTRL-Space, and it wouldselect the file currently focused. Thing is, I tried that one too, and it still does not work. So what is the clue?How does one select multiple files, in Windows Explorer, with the use ofWinEyes. To make it more complicated for you, I did try yet another approach. I used the Insert-Del combination on the numeric keypad. It gave me the chance to MARKbut when I did choose to let it do so, on each of the files in question, and then pressed Del to delete - Only the currently focused file will be deleted. In other words, none of the other files I thought I had marked,did actually receive any marking. Hope all of this makes any sense. By The Way, is this kind of operation more accessible in either of the other Screen Readers, NVDA or Jaws. If so, what's the procedure, please?
