Shell Programming and Scripting

i want to move files and directory to a folder called deleted on my home directory. I want to mimic rm -r command.. i made this code and it only moves all the files from the directory but don't mv the directory. please help i tried everything that can to my mind.

Code:

 #!bin/bash
function removeDir () {
if ! [ "$(ls -A "$1" )" ]
then
      mv -f $1 ~/deleted
else
           cd $1
           local files=$(ls -A)
           echo $files
           for f in $files
           do
            
                 f2=$(readlink -f $f)
              if [ -d $f2 ]; then
                  removeDir $f2
               else
                   mv -f $f2 ~/deleted
              fi
           done
fi
}
removeDir $@

What's the recursion for? You can just move entire folders...

Code:

function movestuff
{
        mv "$@" ~/deleted/
}

well is part of the project. I have to move the folder recursively just like rm -r
