How do you delete a file you have selected in a Finder window, without using the mouse?

delete doesn't do it.
When I looked it up, I was said that commanddelete is supposed to do it, but it doesn't work for me.

It should work in Finder by default, but did you press the right delete key?

  • Delete (⌫) is the key that is called backspace on other platforms
  • Forward delete (⌦) is the key that is called delete on other platforms
