Delete

One of the things that I really hate about Windows is the Trash can.
When I say delete, I want it gone - forever. On windows I can set it up
so that delete means delete. How do I do that with Ubuntu?

Oh, and by the way, why is the 'empty the wastebasket' always greyed out
in the panel, and only available when the application is open?

And why does the documentation call it Trash, but the application calls
it wastebasket?

Thanks,
R.
