File archiver that will let me delete files without a confirmation

Support & Help Requests
1

I am looking for a file archiver that will let me delete files with NO prompt if I want to delete the files.

I am an adult and mostly know what I am doing. :slight_smile:

'mostly' is a mostly a very dangerous word.

Open caja, navigate to the edit> preference tab>behavior and uncheck "ask before emptying the trash or deleting files".

It was already unchecked.

are you talking about caja or an archiver like engrampa, pea zip or Xarchiver?

I unchecked caja, rebooted and it no longer asked me when deleting a file.

I checked on engrampa, pea zip and Xarchiver and only Xarchiver gives you the option to uncheck 'confirm deletion of files'.

I say this in the most helpful way possible ...

For any tool, try searching thru that tool's help for references under their Preferences, to see if there are any options describing the feature/problem you want changed using words you "prefer" to use to refer to such things ... AND ... using words that you don't normally use, but used by others, to refer to such things, to see if you can locate guidance for a change of preference that would offer a fix.
