Agreed. My photo files seem to be deleted as well when I delete from iPhoto. Same goes for iTunes. Command-Delete in iTunes will give you a prompt about moving the file to the trash - answer yes and that mp3 is history.

  How to delete an image and get rid of it from your HDD depends on where you delete it FROM. In iPhoto, if you are in Organize view and are working from the Photo Library list or the Last Import list, and you delete photos, they are completely removed from your system (i.e. they disappear from iPhoto views and the image files are deleted from your hard drive - you get msg "Are you sure you want to permanently remove the selected photo..."). However, if you are working from an album list and delete a photo, all it does is to remove the reference to the picture from the album list (i.e. the image stays on your hard drive and is still in your Photo Library). I think you'l find iTunes works in the same way the respect to deleting tunes from the Library view versus deleting them from within a playlist view.
  This explanation makes sense of the conflicting postings in this conversation thread, and suggests that Apple have already provided a decent level of delete functionality.
