I found this, don't know if it works, but it's worth a shot.
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
string path = @"c:\myfile.txt";
FileIO.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(path, FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin);
EDIT: Wise words from Nifle: Just remember to add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Basically, between the reference at the top and actually calling the method you need the full name (after adding the library of course)
You can either fully call it:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(
path,
FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs,
RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin);
OR you can add the reference to the top with the others:
using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO
and then
FilesSystem.DeleteDirectory( etc );
This might help you. Looks like you need to either add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll or use P/Invoke.
Have you got a
using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO;
at the top of your page?
Using
FileIO.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(path, FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin);
needs: 00:00:00.4036573
to delete one file. Using
[DllImport("shell32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern int SHFileOperation(ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp);
only needs: 00:00:00.1107684
to delete one file.
An implementation can be found there: Send a File to the Recycle Bin
