I find that most of the time after I press the Delete key (to delete a file/folder), I pretty much instinctively hit Enter.
Thus it seems that this prompt doesn't really serve as much use, since it doesn't really stop me enough to really consider whether I want to delete something or not.  Perhaps it does help prevent issues if you accidentally hit the key, when you were intending to hit something else.

Do you instinctively press Enter after choosing to delete a file?
drag, drop to trashbin. and my trashbin will empty itself. :)
perm deletion for the win!

Depends what data it is... but no..  I rarely hit enter without thinking twice.

You can turn off that confirm prompt anyway I believe.
Actually scratch that, I think I was confusing that with the Auto-Emptying bin.
Most of the time, yes.

Unless your trash bin is always visible.
I got trash bin enabled, because I sometimes rush with del+enter and delete the wrong files (d'oh) so I hafta ctrl+z dat bitchz.
Actually, I should note that I rarely press Delete, rather, it's always Shift+Delete so I actually never have anything in the Recycle Bin >_>
Even worse lol.  And yes, I've lost data before doing that (very rarely though), and, being bad, I don't really back up...

EXACTLY the same as me.  Every single bit of that post.
Lol I just use del and enter.
Like I got used to the prompt and I instinctively empty my bin.
