+ + + + +Deleting Files and Folders + +

+If you don't want a file or folder any more, you can delete it. +

+ + + Delete a File or Folder (Move it to the Trash folder) +

Select the item you want to delete by clicking it once.

 +

Press the Delete key on your keyboard.

 + + +

+You can permanently delete a file, without having to send it to the Trash folder first. +

+ + + Permanently Delete a File or Folder +

Select the item you want to delete.

 +

Press and hold the Shift key, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

+ + + + +Open Files with Other Applications + +

+You can open files using an application other than the default one. For example, Rhythmbox is the default music player, but you may want to open an audio file with another music player you have installed. You can also change the default application for a given file type. +

+ + + Open Files Using a Different Application +

Right-click the file you want to open.

 +

Select from the available "Open with" choices.

 + + + +

Selecting the Open with Other Application option will bring up a list of available applications for you to select from. Not all applications listed will be able to work with that file type, though.

+ + +

You can change the default application for a file type. This will allow you to open your preferred application when you double-click to open a file.

+ + + Change a File Type's Default Application +

Select a file of the type whose default application you want to change.

 +

Choose FileProperties.

 +

Choose the Open With tab.

 +

Select the application you want to make the default for your chosen file type.

 + + + +

The Add and Remove buttons allow you to add other applications to the list of options.
