What is the proper way to delete protected files?

[DarkStar]

How should I delete files from the protected folders? Do I need to initiate the safe removal (with overwriting) from Trash? If I have something encrypted I think it is obvious that when I delete it I want it to be gone forever.

Hello, once unlocked, the folder is no different then any other. So to delete a file you put it in the trash. Then you empty the trash or securely empty the trash, it is up to you, it has nothing to do with espionage.

Let me know if you have further questions.
