Deleting folders to put into recycle bin

When deleting a folder using "folder.Delete()", is the folder and its files moved to recycle bin? From my testing it does not appear that it does. Is there a way, that I am missing, to make it do so? If not, is it possible to move a folder to the recycle bin using CreateCopyJobs?

With files/items, Delete() deletes the item, but Recycle() moves it to the recycle bin. There isn't a Recycle method on IFolder. Have you tried doing folder.ListItemAllFields.Recycle()? You'll have to make sure the ListItemAllFields property is loaded.

@jansenbe You could assign it to me, I started working on it.
