One of the more amazing features of OS X is that you can’t delete files or directories with the Finder— you have to first put them in the trash, then clear everything in the trash. That’s fine for most people, but I want to keep some trash for a long time (deleted copies of code) but not other trash (large installer files and virtual machines).
So I wrote a script which lets you delete specific files and folders; in the trash or elsewhere. Double-click the ZIP-file to open it, then drag the “Delete Immediately” script into the Library/Services folder of your home directory. Now when you right-click files or folders and you’ll see a “Delete Immediately” command. Easy.
