Deleting Songs

I have way to much music. I am trying to delete songs from Itunes and my hard drive. When I delete from Itunes sometimes it sends the song to the recycle bin, sometimes it doesn't and I have to go in and delete the songs form the folders manually. Is there a setting that will allow Itunes to delete the songs from the hard drive every time? I use Music Match so I don't need to store them on my computer.

Thanks

Hold SHIFT when deleting will either prompt you to send the file to the recycle bin or just do it if you told it to not ask again.

That doesn't seem to be working except on songs that are actually in the ITunes folder.

Hmm, it works for me. I highlight the song, hold SHIFT, press DELETE, release SHIFT.
