A workaround for each place, already mentioned: 1. Invoke trash creation, deleting something. 2. Show hidden elements in folder, to trash folder be shown, for example, with the name .Trash-1000 3. Remove permanently this folder 4. Create a regular file with the same name as removed folder had.
This will not allow "move to trash". The only thing to add is to make <Delete> key to remove permanently by default. I've tried to edit ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus but don't find it in Ubuntu 13.10 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118988 Title: No way to disable trash in nautilus Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This is a similar 'bug' to #12893 but what I think there should be is a check-box in the nautilus configuration that just says 'Disable the trash and delete files immediately' I realize you can shift delete, but there should be a way to just disable the trash all together. You can do this in both windows and OSX so there is no reason it shouldn't be possible in Linux. I believe the ideal situation would be the nautilus configuration as it is now with two additional check-boxes: 1. Disable the trash and delete files immediately. 2. Disable the trash for removable media and delete files immediately. Option two check-box would get greyed out when option 1 was checked.
