My Linux File Manager has a Delete command that actually deletes if I want to bypass trash. I think Windows Explorer has an option to bypass Recycle and instantly delete (Shift Del?). A quick search suggests three ways to avoid Trash on Mac OS. One involves disabling it. Another is to hold Option Key in Mac File Manager. A third is a utility.
So why add files to Trash to delete them? Can be avoided on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Also the Calibre caltrash is like a sort of cache if set to 1 day. It's obsessive to worry about that.
