Are you using the Below method to Immediately delete files and bypassing moving the files to the Bin ( Trash )


  1. Select the file(s) or folder(s) you wish to instantly and permanently delete and hit the following keystroke sequence: Option + Command + Delete
  2. Confirm with the dialog that you wish to delete the files permanently and immediately


This just circumvents placing the files into the Trash, it deletes the file(s) immediately from the Mac.
