The bigger delete button which would be known as the back space button on the Pc keyboard. So I'm going to hold down the apple key button and I'm going to hit the delete button and boom right when I do that, that file will now go into my trash.

So to completely wipe away the file now from my hard drive I just select empty trash and it is gone.
