Description

Today, I've noticed that while removing a directory `T:\Temp\Rider2023.1` (18.49 GiB), Vacuum has deleted it entirely, and not moved to the recycle bin.

Some hypothesis on what could cause that behavior:
- the directory is too big to be put into the recycle bin
- some files are too big
- some paths are too long

Normally, Windows Shell will ask the user what to do, but it's possible that some flags we are passing to it lead to just deleting the directory in case of questions.

Deserves further investigation.
