How to delete photos from a specific person permanently?

How can I delete photos of a specific person permanently? Faces only lets me delete the link to the photo but not the photos itself. Is there a way to just select photos from a face and permanently delete those?

You can create a smart album with the faces:


File > New Smart album > Face is "person to be removed"


Then select all photos in this album and press option-command-delete ⌥⌘⌫


Or flag all photos in the faces stack of a person and create an event of of the flagged photos "Event > Create ever of flagged photos". Then move the event to the trash.
