Apparently there is no way to do this on Windows- even from the shell!

But here’s the OS X version:

FUNCTION trashLocalFolderIfExists tPathAndFile

    IF there is a folder tPathAndFile THEN

        set the itemdel to "/"

        put the last item of tPathAndFile into tFolderName

        rename folder tPathAndFile to specialfolderpath("trsh") & "/" & tFolderName --! need Win32 switch

        IF the result is not empty THEN

            return "Got an error while trying to delete" && tPathAndFile & ":" && the result

        END IF

    ELSE

        return "HEELP! Went to delete a folder that wasn't there:" && tPathAndFile

    END IF

END trashLocalFolderIfExists
