Recycle - Force option shouldn't delete permanently #18

Open akaleeroy opened 2 years ago

akaleeroy commented 2 years ago

Remove-ItemSafely -Force becomes a misnomer if the -Force switch makes the command unsafe (delete permanently, without a confirmation prompt). For deleting permanently users ought to use Remove-Item.

Maybe a change of name of the cmdlet?

Yes, the cmdlet is poorly designed, in that using Remove-Item parameters that aren't supported causes it to fall back to Remove-Item (and, therefore, silently before "unsafe"). Fixes are definitely welcome.
