"Secure empty trash" equivalent as icon in Finder?

[happycadaver]

I know that Apple removed the "Secure empty trash" feature in El Capitan because of SSD support.

In the finder i have "empty trash" as an icon for quicker access. Is there a chance to get an icon which deletes files directly without the use of the trash? I don't need a safety net for my files, haven't deleted a file by accident for over 20 years (really!!).

Uh, try not to be overconfident.
And, I cannot find a way to achieve your goal. On the contrary, I have found the way to customise toolbar, including your delete icon.

But, you can always press option+command+delete to immediately delete a file without moving it to trash.

@happycadaver: Just a long shot: what happens when you press the option key while clicking on the toolbar icon? Maybe it does something different here as well.

He isn't looking for a replacement, but for a quicker access to the new "Delete Immediately" option. There is a toolbar icon in Finder with which you can move a selected item to trash, but it isn't available for the latter option.

If you have Hazel, you can set it to empty the trash automatically, as soon as there's a new file in there.

Thanks for your input, i think, i can live with the keyboard shortcut for the moment.
