No. On Windows, the move to Recycle Bin is the function of the
Windows Explorer, which is a file manager. Applications that want to
do that need to call the special API implemented by the Explorer.
Applications that are not file managers don't. They call the Windows
API which simply deletes. A trivial example is cmd.exe, whose "del"
command deletes files, it does not move them to Recycle Bin.
