If you download this program:

EasyFind (free)
http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html

You are given the choice, under the Edit menu, to move a file or  
folder to the Trash, or to simply "Destroy" an item.

EasyFind is a wonderful utility.  Since it doesn't rely on an index,  
like Spotlight, it can find anything on your hard drive, not just the  
stuff in the locations where Spotlight looks.  EasyFind can also look  
for invisible files.
