Path of Recycle Bin on Windows

hello everybody,

I am trying to find the path of the Recycle Bin. I know that it's a temporary storage place, but it should have a path that we can refer to.

I want to know it because I sometimes use cygwin to work on Windows, and when you delete something with it, it's gone. I just checked it and the deleted file was not moved to the Recycle Bin.

However, if I know the path to the Recycle Bin, then whenever I need to remove something with cygwin, I can just move it to Recycle Bin. And later if I decide I deleted it accidentally, I can recover it (as is the case on gui)

thanks
