>> Deleting a file from the Trash window should send the file back to the folder where it came.<<
You’re right. Ignore my post #109
Are you comfortable with the command line in a Terminal window? You can easily delete one or more files at a time. At the command line in a terminal window, first change to the Trash folder which is actually .Trash (the name begins with a dot):
cd ~/.Trash
To get a listing of of the files in the .Trash folder, use this command:
ls
Then use the rm (an abbreviation for remove) command on the files you want to delete:
rm "name of file"
Actually, it's quite easy to do if you don't mind typing. But once you use the rm command, the file is gone. So be certain you actually want to delete the file before using the command.
