The way I've done this in the past is to p/invoke SHFileOperation.

Thanks for the links, that is the direction I was going.
I thought it would be built into the frameworks and just wanted to check
and makes sure I didn't miss something.

AFAIK, it's not in the framework up to 1.1. I'm not sure if this is
something that has been included in 2.0 (currently beta) or not.

I haven't had a need to go "the other way" and restore a file from the
recycle bin. So I can't give you a direct pointer but, after doing some
poking around, it seems that a few people recommend reading the article
linked below for information on dealing with the recycle bin. I'm not sure
if it will give you all the information you need but it should give you a
start.

If that turns out to be a bust, then try looking through some other posts on
the subject to see if any have some more insight.
