send-to-trash

A lightweight CLI tool written in Go to send files to the Windows Recycle Bin.

Features

• Move files to trash instead of permanent deletion.
• Supports filenames and glob patterns.
• Leverages Windows API for native Recycle Bin integration.
• Automatically skips non-trashable devices (like network shares or CD-ROMs) to avoid unwanted confirmation dialogs.

Installation

Build the binary using Go:

go build -o send-to-trash.exe .

Usage

./send-to-trash.exe [-ui] <file_or_glob>

• -ui: Enable GUI dialogs (disabled by default).
