In both cases, you can use *"Del+Shift"* if you don't want to use "Delete"
from the right click menu :)
If you ask me, that will be the fastest solution :D

That was the first result on a quick Google Search [Search About 4,480,000
results (0.47 seconds)]
I don't think a screenshot is required here ;)

Usually, we don't spend much time on Google and we give up so easily. I'm
talking in general, I don't mean you specifically :)
Or, sometimes, we use the wrong keywords when we search.

I'm sure the link above is more than enough and it is pointless to add that
to Lubuntu Specific Wiki.


Lubuntu is a great system and has an amazing team and I'm not saying that
because I'm one of them, I'm saying that because I have joined them just
because they are the best people on Ubuntu Community :) I love Lubuntu and
it is my favorite without question :)

@Wiki-Team
If you guys think it is still important to add something about PCManFM, I
would suggest:

1- http://wiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM << we can edit this instead and link it
to our Wiki - no need for duplication.

2- If you disagree with the first point, please create a new page for
PCManFM - I have come across some complains about PCManFM and I remembered
that after my first email - as it is the default File Manager in Lubuntu
and I think it deserves a special treatment :)
Some users don't really like it and I don't really know what are their
reasons? so maybe if we explain more about it, it could be better?

So, I suggested two options, whatever option you choose, I'm sure that will
be a plus and help our users to learn and understand more about PCManFM :)

Thanks!
