This is something that I hear a lot from my clients. It is something they either do not know how to do or don’t want to know how to do so they don’t have to. Some times the clients will do it, some times they will not, and I have found a few that really do not know how and I’ve tried to help them by giving a few simple steps on how to do it.
I think there are two ways to delete files in Mac, and I would like to mention the first, because it can be helpful. The second is to delete them immediately.
The first method is to simply put the file in the trash and then delete it. This is a good step because it does not affect your Mac and you don’t have to worry about it when you go to delete it.
The second method is to go to your Finder app and click on the trash icon as it showed on the screenshots.
Mac users tend to overlook the first method because the delete method is not so easy to use. This is because when you open the Finder, the file is hidden by default. To delete a file, you have to first find it in the Finder and then right-click on it and click on the trash icon. You also have to double-click on the trash icon so that the action is only performed when you’re in the Finder.
The Finder has a built in trash function, but as you might expect, there are various ways to use it. One method is to choose the Finder menu option called Trash and then selecting the file you want to delete.
I’ve gotten my Mac a lot of times, so I’ve found that a bunch of things look great as a result of using a Finder menu. It’s like a newbie’s computer, you can either be the expert or just the dumbest person, but the Finder has plenty of nice tools to help make it so you can use it in a pinch.
One of the coolest things about a Finder menu is the fact that it can also open a trashcan. This may be a useful tool if you’re planning on using multiple Macs and want to easily find files and folders on each machine. Just make sure you don’t delete any folders you really need. If you delete files that you really need, they will likely end up on your desktop PC.
If you delete files that you need, they will end up on your desktop PC. The Finder will ask you if you want to “save all changes” and you will be prompted to either make all of your changes or revert back to some previous point in the file system.
