Do you want them to go to Recycle Bin (RB) ?
If you hold SHIFT key when you delete a file, it will not go to RB.
If a file is larger than the RB capacity, it will not go to RB.
What is your full Windows version, edition and service pack level?
(For instance, I'm using Windows XP-Pro-SP3.)
Please include more detail about what you are trying to do.
Thanks. --Richard

Whoops, there goes the one you shouldn't have sent to the recycle bin

If you had ever deleted something where there was no recycle bin and then
wished that you hadn't, you would understand perfectly.
Owners of Sky+ boxes will know exactly what I am talking about, because they
don't even offer you the safety of an "Are you Sure" dialog.

Sky+ boxes are off-topic.
However, it is possible to force an "Are you sure" warning. As a
precaution against accidental deletion, set the "keep" option,
when you program the receiver to record a TV broadcast.

I was aware of that, but the majority of Sky users aren't. Sky+ used to
have an 'are you sure?' message for unwatched programmes, but Sky claim that
it due to user requests that it was deleted.
