I guess it's a terminological problem. I'm quite sure that everyone else in this thread meant "drag the file to the Trash and also empty the Trash" when they advised you to "delete" the file. That's what it means to delete a file.

That's what it meant in OS X 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6.

That's also what it meant in OS 9.
