Rather it means move to trash. For example in Gmail that is the case. I was trying to help someone about their Gmail account not having much space, I saw Gmail was taking up like 14+ GB of space, so I told him to delete mails from Inbox. My bad I didn't realize that delete isn't delete, and they have to clear up Trash.

Friends would ask their computer doesn't have storage, yet they barely have something on it.

I wonder, on how may occasions people found themselves in trouble because the Delete button/icon isn't "deleting" things?
