Im not sure that’s a good idea. Files permanently deleted by emtying the trash are, I believe, not recoverable, even if one has a Time Capsule.

I thought it was possible to select a particular file that one wishes to delete in the Trash, and then press the “delete” key on the keyboard.

That doesn’t work? I’d try myself, but power is out cuz of this stupid hurricane.

If one needs to recover a file, they can do so from the Time Machine/Capsule back-up made prior to the file being placed in the trash, and the trash emptied. I’ve done this very thing on a few occasions myself.
