Java on Windows: how to delete a file to trash (using JNA)

Question

I'm not experiences with Windows API at all, so please excuse my ignorance.

I want to delete files to the trash. How to do that using JNA and how to detect if this would not be possible, e.g., because the files are located on a network share?

Answer 1

Use com.sun.jna.platform.win32.FileUtils.moveToTrash and hasTrash.
