Answer 1

This might help you. Looks like you need to either add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll or use P/Invoke.

Answer 2

I found this, don't know if it works, but it's worth a shot.

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

string path = @"c:\myfile.txt";
FileIO.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(path, FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin);

EDIT: Wise words from Nifle: Just remember to add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Answer 3
