4.2.7  Delete...                                              TeraDesk

If  anything  that is a folder, a file or a symbolic link is selected,
this menu item can  be used to delete the selected objects.  Note that
write-protected objects  can not  be deleted  until  the protection is
removed  (see Info...).

In the Copy and print... options  dialog  the user can  set  whether a
confirmation dialog  will appear  when a delete  is attempted.

If a  symbolic link  is selected  for deletion  (see  Symbolic Links),
either the link itself or both the link and  the referenced object can
be deleted,  depending on  the state of the  'Follow links'  option in
The copy info dialog: if it is set,  both the selected  symbolic links
and the referenced objects will be deleted;  otherwise, only the links
will be deleted (option is available only in MiNT and MagiC).

The effect of  Delete...  action is identical to dragging the selected
objects to the trashcan icon.

If you are running Tera Desktop in low or medium screen resolution and
TOS 1.0, this menu item may not be visible  because of the limitations
of this TOS version.
