Try selecting a single item for practice. Arrow to the file and then press command plus delete. No other keys needed.

Hi ,
This has been some what helpful.  I have been able to do the VO command and hit 
enter and it does select the item but when I hit comand backspace it does not 
delete .  Am I doing something wrong?

   To avoid confusion, Backspace is a Windows key. Windows uses Backspace and 
Delete keys. The Mac equivalents are Delete and Forward Delete.

    Command-backspace sends items to the trash that you have selected. You can 
hold down the shift key and arrow down or up to select items that are 
contiguous. If not. Press VO-command-enter on each item and then press the 
command-backspace to delete them.

Hi all,
I have items in my download folder and I want to delete the items .  What is 
the command to select the items and delete the items in the folder?  I have 
tried just hitting my delete key or shift delete and neither of those works.
