4.2. Deleting Files and Directories

Konqueror gives you three ways to dispose of an unwanted file or directory;

The simplest way of removing a file or directory is to position the mouse pointer over its name or icon then press the RMB, which will bring up a menu containing the options "Move to Trash", "Delete" and "Shred".

Or, if you have "selected" the item, then the Menubar Edit menu will give you the choice of "Move to Trash", "Delete" and "Shred" options.

Ctrl-Del will move a selected item or items to Trash.

Ctrl-Shift-Del will really, truly and irrevocably delete the selected item or items.

Note

You won't be able to remove a file or directory if you don't have the necessary permissions, see the section on Super User Mode for further details.
