Is there any way to easily delete a file? Not move it to the trash but delete it?

And part 2 to the question, is there any way to remove just one file from trash, or must you empty the entire basket?

cmd-delete will move it to the trash.. I think that's as good as it gets?

That kind of sucks. Sometimes you have a large file you know you won't need later. You can't get rid of it unless you get rid of all other files you might want later.... 🙁

I supposed rm would work from a terminal window.....
