kill "filename.ext" = shift-delete
#2

To recover an accidental deleted file I had to use a third party recovery program.  Need a safer way to delete a file.

Thanks

When I think I may need a file again after deleting it, I use Name "FileName" As (temporary filename). Works for me. If I "kill" a file I expect it to die, but sometimes I like to keep the defib tool handy.
