How do you permanently delete a file without sending it to the recycle bin?

To permanently delete a file without sending it to the Recycle Bin, you can select the file and press Shift + Delete on your keyboard. This action bypasses the Recycle Bin and deletes the file immediately. Alternatively, you can also use the command line by navigating to the file's directory and using the del command to remove it permanently. Always ensure that you really want to delete the file, as this action cannot be undone.
