I need to make the Gnome / KDE to delete my files without
them moving into the trash can but delete them directely
instead. I've look thru all the settings in Gnome and KDE
but there's no setting indicate this function.
In Gnome, go to applications->Desktop Pref->file-management->behaviour->Include a delete command that bypasses Trash
Do I need to do anything special to get this work?
In KDE, it's almost the same thing. In a Konqueror window, go to the "Options" or "Configuration" menu (I think that's what it says in English, my desktop is in Dutch, where it says 'Instellingen').
In the first subwindow ("Behaviour") there is a checkbox for "Show the delete option in the menu" (or something along those lines. Again, my desktop is in Dutch, but it should be very obvious-- in fact, I think it says almost exactly the same thing as the GNOME setting mentioned above).
In any case, that's how you do it, and the only annoyance is that "Delete" still moves things to the Trash, and you must remember to use Shift+Delete to delete a file (there is no way to say "make delete the default behaviour instead of move to the trash", like there is in Windows, which may be the only thing I liked about Windows config options ;-) ).
