Bypass Your Recycle Bin

Most of us know that when we delete a file, we're not really deleting it, but sending it to our Recycle Bin. There, the file will sit until we empty the Recycle Bin, or restore the file to it's original location.

If you are sure that you want this file gone, and don't want it hanging around your Recycle Bin, hold down the SHIFT button on your keyboard while deleting it.
