Just came across this on another site, and it tickled me ...

Whatever the thing you want to get rid of (the example I found was a US politician, but it'll work for just about anything), open a new file on your computer and call it that.

Send the file to the Recycle Bin.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

The computer will ask "Are you sure you want to get rid of 'whatever'?"

Determinedly hit 'YES'

Feel better.
