recycle bin qquestion

hi
i have large files that i want to move from my documents to the recycle bin
but the amount of files in my documents can be 300 files..is there a way to get these documents inti the recycle bin faster than to have to click on eash file one by one..which could take forever?

Click on the first one in the list you want to delete. If you have a whole list of them you want to get rid of, hold down one of the Shift keys and click on the last one in the list you want to delete. That will select them all.

If there is a file in the list you don't want to delete, hold down one of the Alt keys and click on it to de-select it.

Once you have the ones you want to delete selected, press the Delete (Del) key on the keyboard.

If you have files scattered throughout the folder you want to delete, click on the first one, then hold down one of the Alt keys and click on each you want to delete. Once you have them selected, let go of the Alt key and press the Delete key.

If you want to delete them without sending them to the Recycle Bin first, hold down the Shift key when you press the Delete key.
