Windows 8 is a new operating system from Microsoft that is designed to be user-friendly and fast. One of the features of Windows 8 is its file management system. This article will show you how to delete a file in Windows 8. To delete a file in Windows 8, open the File Explorer window and locate the file you want to delete. Right-click on the file and select “Delete.” If the file is not located in File Explorer, you can search for it using the search bar at the top of the window. Click on “Delete” to confirm your decision. ..
If you have just switched to Windows 8, or are about to, and find yourself constantly sending files to the recycle bin by mistake, it’s probably because Microsoft disabled the delete confirmation dialog, here’s how to re-enable it.
Enabling the Delete Confirmation Dialog
Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and select Properties from the context menu.
You need to check the box near the bottom of the Properties dialog that enables the confirmation dialog.
If you now go try and delete something you will immediately be asked if you really want to send the item(s) to the recycle bin.
That’s all there is to it, remember if you want to delete something without sending it to the recycle bin you can always use the Shift + Delete keyboard combination.
