<title>Delete files and folders</title>
<p>If you don't want a file or folder any more, you can delete it. When you
delete an item it is moved to the <gui>Trash</gui> folder, where it is stored
until you empty the trash. You can <link xref="files-recover">restore items
</link> in the <gui>Trash</gui> folder to their original location if you
decide you need them, or if they were accidentally deleted.</p>
<steps>
<title>To send a file to the trash:</title>
<item><p>Select the item you want to place in the trash by clicking it once.
</p></item>
<item><p>Press <key>Delete</key> on your
keyboard. Alternatively, drag the item to the <gui>Trash</gui> in the
sidebar.</p></item>
</steps>
<p>To delete files permanently, and free up disk space on your computer, you
need to empty the trash. To empty the trash, right-click <gui>Trash</gui> in
the sidebar and select <gui>Empty Trash</gui>.</p>
<section id="permanent">
<title>Permanently delete a file</title>
<p>You can immediately delete a file permanently, without having to send it
to the trash first.</p>
<steps>
<title>To permanently delete a file:</title>
<item><p>Select the item you want to delete.</p></item>
<item><p>Press and hold the <key>Shift</key> key, then press the
<key>Delete</key> key on your keyboard.</p></item>
<item><p>Because you cannot undo this, you will be asked to confirm that
you want to delete the file or folder.</p></item>
</steps>
<note style="tip"><p>If you frequently need to delete files without using the
trash (for example, if you often work with sensitive data), you can add a
<gui>Delete</gui> entry to the right-click menu for files and folders.
Click <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> and select the
<gui>Behavior</gui> tab. Select <gui>Include a Delete command that bypasses
Trash</gui>.</p></note>
<note><p>Deleted files on a <link xref="files#removable">removable device
</link> may not be visible on other operating systems, such Windows or Mac
OS. The files are still there, and will be available when you plug the device
back into your computer.</p></note>
