Is there a way from AppleScript to completely delete a file (i.e.,
free up its space right now, rather than just moving it to the trash)?
'tell application "finder" to delete file "foo"' moves it to the
trash. Of course, I could do something like 'do shell script ("rm " &
posix path to file foo)', but I'm looking for a "pure" AppleScript
solution.
tell application "Finder"
set the file_to_delete to alias "Dora:Users:michelle:Desktop:foo.text"
delete the file_to_delete
empty the trash
end tell
