You could always add a 'Delete' option to the context menu within KDE.
Open Konqueror, click on 'Settings' and choose 'Configure Konqueror'. 
Then choose the 'Behavior' section on the left and then check the *Show 
"Delete' context menu entries which bypass the trashcan* box.

You now have the option to delete files instead of sending them to the 
trash.
