You can try this:

1) Open Pcmanfm (File Manager) and go to Edit > Preferences

For Lubuntu 12.04 to 13.10

Uncheck Confirm before deleting files

For Lubuntu 14.04

Uncheck Confirm before moving files into "trash can"

Hope this helps.

You can also delete a file without moving to trash by using Shift + Delete shortcut.

Just to be clear, you still get a prompt, but you don't need to take the extra step of emptying the trash later. – IQAndreas May 14 '14 at 19:43

Nautilus>edit>preferences>behavior

There's a pair of checkboxes near the bottom of that panel to choose "delete" behavior.

Lubuntu uses Pcmanfm as default file manager, not Nautilus. – Radu Rădeanu May 14 '14 at 17:15
