Is that really that strange to want deleted files to be deleted?
I know there’s some windows user thing of storing files in the recycling bin. But really?

Maybe some of you never used older systems where deletion was one step and permanent… or forgot.
But yes I generally empty the trash as soon as I add files to it.
Does using DEC OS/8 and DG RDOS qualify me as using an older system?

Personally I prefer to keep deleted files around for a while. I don't know about the users you work with or if you only work on your own personal system but being able to restore a deleted file has been a life saver on occasion.
