Request: change "move item to trash" to "delete"

crenshao
This is a simple request: I am constantly wasting time looking for the delete option in the right-click menu because the option starts with the word "Move," which no one thinks of when they think of delete.

Please help us save time by changing this option to read "Delete" so it is clearer.
Thank you

    We could consider changing this, though there's plenty of precedent for it. Both macOS and Linux (default Ubuntu, at least) use "Move to Trash" instead of "Delete". It's arguably more accurate and therefore clearer terminology, even if Windows doesn't use it. (Of interest: one popular project debated using Delete on Windows before deciding to use Delete for everyone.)

    In any case, the quicker way to delete items is just to press Delete/Backspace on the keyboard.
