A bunch of Utada Hiraku MP3s, some HTMLs for a political site I'm working on, a couple XLSs.

Nothing - ever. Whenever I reinstall windows one of the first thins I do is right click > properites > then check "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted".

I've done this for years. Anything I delete is gone, perminently. It makes you careful about hitting that button. ;)

Yup. I knew a guy that hacked DOS so that it didn't ask when you deleted something, it just deleted it. He got tired of telling it yes.

I do leave the dialog box on though.
