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?

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.

perm deletion for the win!

Unless your trash bin is always visible.

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.

Sometimes yes / sometimes no.
