- Select the file by clicking on it one time
- Click the 'delete' button on the keyboard
- You will be asked if you really want to delete the file
- Click 'Yes'
If you do not want to have to do that extra click to confirm the delete operation hold the Shift key down when you press the Delete key.
The procedure above will lable the area(s) occupied by the file as "Free" which means that another file could use part or all of the portions of the disk that held the 'deleted' file's information. Deleting in this way WILL NOT remove the information from your hard disk. If someone with enough knowledge, the right software and time looks hard enough they will be able to reconstruct som or all of the 'deleted' files.
To really remove files and make them inaccessible you need special software. It is probably easier to buy a new hard drive and destroy the old one.
