The fonctionnality you are looking for already exists in KDE.
In the KDE control center, just go to KDE components > File manager, and there, you will see select the option which lets you ignore the trash.

This option has been there for a very long time, lol !

You welcome.

This is already a fairly well known shortcut, both in the KDE and windows world:

Shift+delete == delete permanently.

Having a context menu for this as well would be redundant - as then we'd want every option in there.

Changed in kdebase:

The shortcut Sarah mentions is better exposed in Konqueror. Konqueror adds an extra entry into its "Edit" menu that lets you bypass the trash when deleting files permanently.

Unfortunately, dolphin which is the default filemanager for KDE 4.x only supports this when the user knows about it key shortcut, but doesn't provide an extra item in its "Edit" menu.

This would be a great improvement for less tech savvy users who might not be able to delete large folders since they don't fit into the Trash.
