Something like shift+delete in Windows?


I keep non-ebook formats in calibre libraries (videos, 'games' etc), some of which exceed the largest file size you can send to the recycle bin, IIRC it's a percentage of the Recycle Bin maximum size.

I can't recall exactly what happens in calibre when Windows issues its "too big to send to the recycle bin" message; but whatever it is, it is enough to have gotten me into the habit of removing very large 'format' files via Alt+Del (which is a permanent delete), before removing the book.

Another option would be a "Don't use the Recycle Bin" setting in Preferences->Behaviour or Tweaks, or an environment variable.

But I hasten to add, for me this is a Nice to Have.
