Sends a file or directory to the recycle bin if possible, or permanently deletes it.
FileRecycle FilePattern
Type: String
The name of a single file or a wildcard pattern such as "C:\Temp\*.tmp". FilePattern is assumed to be in A_WorkingDir if an absolute path isn't specified.
Both asterisks (*) and question marks (?) are supported as wildcards. * matches zero or more characters and ? matches any single character. Usage examples:
*.* or * matches all files.*.htm matches files with the extension .htm, .html, etc.*. matches files without an extension.log?.txt matches e.g. log1.txt but not log10.txt.*report* matches any filename containing the word "report".To recycle an entire directory, provide its name without a trailing backslash.
An exception is thrown on failure.
SHFileOperation is used to do the actual work. This function may permanently delete the file if it is too large to be recycled; also, a warning should be shown before this occurs.
The file may be permanently deleted without warning if the file cannot be recycled for other reasons, such as:
NukeOnDelete registry value.FileRecycleEmpty, FileDelete, FileCopy, FileMove
