Then he better be specific about it. Besides, when my code delete's a file, it doesn't end up in the RecycleBin. That's a function of the Shell, not the file system.

This message board is really funny. You can easily get attacked for nothing. Sorry Dave perhaps next time i will post my questions on a board that's for programming. I really messed up. Indeed i did mean programatically. At the moment when i delete a file it ends up in the recycle bin. is there a way to empty the recycle bin programatically ?

How are you deleting the file?? Like I said, the file ending up in the RecycleBin is a function of the Shell, not the file system.

Dave wasn't attacking you, just suggesting you be a bit more specific with your question. It happens alot on these forums and if someone isn't being specific enough, they will be called upon about it. Being specific helps narrow the problem down :)
