How do I move a file to the Recycle Bin using PowerShell?

Question

By default when you delete a file using PowerShell it\'s permanently deleted.

I would like to actually have the deleted item go to the recycle bin just like I would

It works in PowerShell pretty much the same way as Chris Ballance's solution in JScript:

 $shell = new-object -comobject "Shell.Application"
 $folder = $shell.Namespace("")
 $item = $folder.ParseName("")
 $item.InvokeVerb("delete")
