Deleting files by pressing control shift delete doesn't work anymore with Mac OS X Mavericks... keep it posted for more issues.

Hey Navics,

This is a bug in either the Serato software or on the OS.. this is not new to Mavericks.

The workaround is to shut down SSL, open your external drive, and delete the _Serato_backup folder.
Once deleted, open SSL and delete whatever files you want to delete. Shut down SSL. If it asks if you want to backup your library choose no. That should get them deleted entirely from the HD.

Will this fix the issue of the files not being sent to the trash bin.

Yes. It should be a workaround.
