Inconsistencies between FileDelete and FileRecycle

[suroit]

Hi,

I am trying to delete large numbers of files with specific names that I can calculate. I would like to use FileRecycle with the script below, but only FileDelete seems to give me the correct return values.

When I use FileDelete, I get the predicted return values: 0 when the file doesn't exist, and 1 when the file exists. With FileRecycle, though, the return value is always 1!

Can anyone let me know if I am using this function correctly?

Thanks.
