Hi, I have been testing out some script, and accidently deleted an entire folder, the helpfile is really scarse concerning warning, I hope the next helpfile will include some warnings or write dangerous functions/switches in RED color.

Nowhere in the helpfile is it stated that fileremovedir DOES NOT use the recycle bin :?

Is there any safer option than fileremovedir, which will delete directories to the recyclebin ?

TIA!

FileRecycle should do it

the normal commands for removing directories in windows do not use the recycle bin, and do not carry warnings.

I am not able to reproduce the effect. FileRecycle moves the an entire folder to Recycle bin for me. :roll:

Edit: Are you sure your Recycle bin settings are set properly ?

There're some free softwares that can help you recover files & folders that have been deleted.
Check out http://www.recuva.com/ for example.
