Delete files without getting a prompt

Usually, when you try to delete one or more files, Windows prompts you to confirm before it deletes them. Sometimes this is inconvenient, however, especially if you need to delete many files. If you're sure that you want to delete the files, and you don't want Windows to ask you before deleting them, follow these instructions.

Temporarily prevent prompt when deleting files

Holding down the Shift when deleting files disables the confirmation prompt only for the files you're currently deleting.

Permanently prevent the confirmation prompt when deleting

Delete files faster by removing the "Are you sure you want to delete" Microsoft Windows confirmation box for all files by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop. In the pop-up menu, click Properties and uncheck Display delete confirmation dialog, as shown in the following picture. Once this is done, click the OK box, and now any file you delete is immediately sent to the Recycle Bin unless you have the option "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin" enabled.
