That's just a confirmation. I prefer to press DEL, then ENTER to delete a file, 
SHIFT+DEL isn't so good. Disabling a confirmation does not disable the Trash 
thing. You accidentally forget to press SHIFT with DEL, and KDE starts moving a 
12GB file from one partition to my home partition (oh and it has a 1G capacity). 
The hack disables writing to the Trash.

How to disable the Move to Trash capability?
