You can always drag a file into the Trash, but there is a much faster and easier method of getting rid of unwanted files.
Send straight to Trash with Command-Delete
Instead of wrestling that file to the ground and dragging it into the Trash, kick that file straight into the bin using the ⌘ delete combo! Just select the file by clicking on it with your mouse or using your shift and arrow keys, and then hold your right thumb on the ⌘ key and tap the delete key.
Command key or Apple key?
As you may have noticed in the image above, and in the previous post about selecting the URL, on some keyboards the ⌘ key also has an Apple logo on it (my thumb is covering the ⌘ symbol in the photo above). To add some confusion, the Command key is sometimes referred to as the “Apple key”.
Trash files without getting your fingers dirty
The beauty of the ⌘ delete combination is that, unlike the drag and drop method, you don’t have to go any where near the Trash. So if you prefer to keep your hands clean you can send unwanted files to the trash in one swift move with ⌘ delete.
