It’s really very easy.

First, drag what you don’t want to delete from the trash to the desktop.

Empty the trash (this deletes the files you want deleted).

Drag the other files back to the trash (for the owner to delete when they want to).

Yeah, but that’s more work than is needed. I should be able to hold down one key on the keyboard and a pop-up menu should appear with the word “Delete file.” That’s MUCH easier than creating a new folder on the desktop and having to drag files OUT of the trash to protect them from being deleted.

This would take all of 10 seconds to do but he would rather spend an hour on here pretending that Windows can do something a Mac cant do. The best solution would be Get A Life.
