Idea: Application that moves files to the Windows recycle bin

[MarcoPa]

I am looking for an application that allows me to move files to the Windows recycle bin via the command line. Although this is possible with Powershell, it is a surprisingly cumbersome manoeuvre for simple PC users like me. Could a command line programme or alternatively an easily integrated script be created for this?

This is more of a general suggestion. With the help of AI, I was able to put together a script for my purposes without knowing exactly what it does. But I could imagine that some people would be happy to have a small, reliable tool with which they can do this task easily and reliably.

If this is out of scope, I apologise in advance. I can't estimate the effort involved.

There already is such a thing:

You can use a small free tool like NirCmd – it lets you send files to the Recycle Bin from the command line.
e.g

nircmd.exe recyclebin myfile.txt
