[2005] Check if "File In Use" & Recycling Bin -

Hello

I have a list of files which are to be send to the recycling bin. However using this current method is extremely slow, and often produces errors if the file is in use.

Code:

My.Computer.Filesystem.DeleteFile(_
FILESPATH,fileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, _
FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecyclingBin, _
fileIO.UICancelOption,ThrowException)

Is there a way to check if the file is in use before I try o send it to the bin? Also, is there a better way to send something to the bin.

Thanks in advance!
