ok then. start automator and choose to make a service. set the service to accept files and folders and be available in finder.
the service itself should consist of the following "run shell script" action
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
rm -rf "$f"
done</pre>
set this action to pass input as arguments. save the service and call it, say, "nuke-it". now select several files/fodlers in finder, right-click and choose "nuke-it".
Note however, that this will delete the selected items completely and without any confirmation dialogs. to avoid mistakes I would put in at least some protection in this. click on the "options" at the bottom of the 'run shell script action" and check the box "show this action when workflow runs". this way you will at least have to click "continue" after invoking the "nuke-it" contextual menu.
the end result should look like this
