Someone else likely has a better suggestion, but Windows 2003 Resource 
Kit[0] has Robocopy, an updated version of "Robust File Copy" dating 
from NT days.  Make a bat file to call robocopy to move files to a 
specified trash directory (/MOV), and optionally delete all files from 
that directory (using /PURGE since they'll no longer exist in the source 
dir).  Set a Win scheduled task to call that bat file daily or whatever.
