A "bogus" delete program such as the safe-delete package or the
mit-del tools can help.

Deleted files are not really deleted, but "trashed", and a cron job
deletes trash files as required.   You didn't think Microsloth
invented that idea, did you?  (or apple, either...)

I think mitdel is at ftp://ftp.ee.duke.edu/archives/
