Update: Check out the new tool cmd-recycle which is a lot more robust, written much more cleanly and just more cool!
I wrote this simple utiltiy some while ago, thought I might as well publish it here.
Just copy recycle.exe to WINDOWS\system32 and you can start using
1 2 3 4 | recycle <filename> recycle <filename1> <filename2> <filename3> ... recycle * recycle <directory1> ... |
Full source code included (using C#). Enjoy!


get a nice error when i try to use this on windows server 2008 R2.
recycle.exe -.NET Framework Initialization Error Unable to find a version of the runtime to this application.
Any chance of pointing me in the right direction to get this to work?
@Greg
I wrote a new version: cmd-recycle. See if it works for you?
