 Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:12 pm Post subject: Fileremovedir, how to use Recycle bin ? |
 |
|
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. 
Edit: Are you sure your Recycle bin settings are set properly ? |
