Description

We should either find an easy to use way how to undelete and recover previously deleted data on ext3 or choose another filesystem that supports it properly.
(maybe the coming ext4 if it will support this?)

And i also would like to see shortcuts for erasing like this:

-delete: moving to trash and can be undeleted
-shift+delete: delete at once without trash and can be undeleted
-ctrl+shift+delete: secure delete, impossible to recover at all

I don't agree with all of this, but I voted it up based on the request for shredding support. That's really important, imho, and users should be made aware of it. I think users should be guided by the GUI as to when shredding might be a better choice than deleting, just as they're guided/herded to use the trashcan more than delete in other situations.
