    I have a folder on my desktop of music files. I want to permanently delete them from my computer but whenever I try to delete it just moves them to the recycle bin. How do I permanently delete them from the whole computer?

    Hold down the shift key when you press delete. Or select 'empty recycle bin' from the file menu inside the recycle bin.

    Well ,the simplest way to delete data permanently is by formatting all the drives but that too may not delete all the data and there are always chances to recover them
    I can suggest you 1 tool that will remove all ur data permanently forever and no other tool can also be able to recover it.
    Advanced System Optimizer , it has a tool named Secure Delete that does the permanent deletion of the data,but be cautious once the data removed can not be recovered anyhow.
    I found it best u can also try this
    u can download this from cnet
    good luck!!!

    Get a large magnet and pass it over your hard disk 10 times. The magnetic filed reacts with the music frequency of the files on the disk and will permanently wipe the offending/incriminating data.
