How to delete files directly on our Mac without deletion confirmation

When it comes to deleting files of any type on our Mac, we most likely will dragging them directly to the recycle bin, from where we can extract them again if we are not one of the maniacs who usually delete it every time we add a file to it.

By dragging the documents directly to the trash, macOS does not ask us for confirmation at any time about this action, an action that we are clearly doing on a voluntary basis, since otherwise, we would not exactly move it to the trash can.

macOS also allows us to select files with the mouse or keyboard of our computer and delete them directly without having to drag them to the recycle bin. When we are performing this action in several folders, the confirmation message is a nuisance, an annoyance that we can avoid if when pressing the delete key we do it together with the Command key. If we do this, the files will disappear directly from our computer without any confirmation.

Like when we drag files to the trash, macOS understands that this action is voluntary, so it will not request the confirmation of deletion of the selected elements. All the elements that we delete using this little trick will continue to be available in the recycle bin, so we will not have any future problems if we want to use them again at any given time.

They will continue to be in the recycle bin, as long as, as I mentioned above, let's not have the mania to empty it continuously, a hobby that by the way I have managed to get rid of after suffering the deletion of several documents that they did not have to delete but ended up in the trash and seconds later in limbo.
