Instantly delete files

Hi, how can I configure raspbian to disable the annoying question if I really want to delete the file?

I want to move the file instantly to the wastebasket instead of clicking "yes".

In the file manager, go to Edit -> Preferences -> General tab -> and uncheck Confirm before deleting files. It might be under a "move to trash can" option.

Note that you'll have to reset this if there's a major desktop update. If you ever get the "Old configuration files moved to ~/oldconf" message, all your custom settings will have been reset.
