Another suggestion is :

1) get Recycle bin directory :
 SHGetSpecialFolderLocation
2) call Win32 API function:  MoveFileEx 
set MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED

Hi All.
The above does not work as deletefile only works on single file. Is there a
call
to delete everything in a directory including folders?

I have a procedure to do this but prefer a solid delphi call if at all
possible.
Thanks,
Al+
