How do I permately delete files from Explorer?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.handheldpc,microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Yup, tap-hold-delete. There is no recycle bin on Pocket PC's
so the file will be gone forever. Don't forget, any file that
you delete from RAM will also be deleted on the desktop computer
on the next synchronization.

Wasn't aware of crossposting, so if it brutally inconvenianced
you in some way or another, i'm sorry.
The post appeared in microsoft.public.pocketpc and I simply
replied to it with what I thought was relevant information.
Since Resco File Explorer was mentioned, I suspected PPC rather
than HPC in this group. There is also much confusion about
'Windows CE' and 'CE' and whatnot among users, and without a
machine description this is what you get: Generalisation for
the receiving group.


Thanks for pointing out the difference between HPC and PPC
and the recycle bin functionality of which I was not aware.

It's Monday and it's cold (it is in my office! brr), let's just
forget about it

Might be a silly idea, but do HPC's have Shift buttons, and would
pressing one of those while deleting a file have the same effect
as on desktop pc's --> direct delete without recycle bin?

Thanks but I already knew this. How can I temporarily delete a file
without changing any settings on my HPC, like what can be done with
Windows 98? On Windows 98,95 I just hold down shift and delete the
file.

It would be nice Nick. I want to bypass that setting from within
explorer like what can be done on my Windows 98 laptop. Resco File
Explorer allows me to perm delete a file, but I hate having to launch it
all the time. So is it true that PPC users have no recycle bin? Well
I'm not a PPC expert. So to a PPC user using Resco File Explorer would
be the same as using regular explorer?


Thanks Nick

Heck, it was the original poster who crossposted. You simply responded.
