Java is the key here. I need to be able to delete files but users expect to be able to ‘undelete’ from the recycle bin. As far as I can tell this isn’t possible. Anyone know otherwise?

For various reasons Windows has no concept of a folder that simply corresponds to the Recycle Bin.
The correct way is to use JNI to invoke the Windows
SHFileOperationAPI, setting theFO_DELETEflag in theSHFILEOPSTRUCTstructure.
