If you have multiple files to delete, just select the files you want to delete, then click on File Menu . Normally when you will find the Move to Trash option , however, if you press and hold the Option key, the option will change to Delete Immediately .

On the Finder Preferences interface, switch to the Advanced tab, then leave the Show warning before emptying the Trash option finished.
