1. Go to Start -> Run... and type gpedit.msc.
2. Now navigate to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer.
3. Once you do this find Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin.
4. Set this option to true. And that is all you have to do in order to immediately delete files.
