• windows-trash.exe silently fails to remove files if the path is in a subst virtual drive.
• windows-trash.exe successfully removes the same files if the full, non-virtual drive paths are used.

I was trying to debug or workaround this error:

/p/tmp
$ trash FILE_TO_TRASH
Error: Command failed: V:\pnpm-home\global\5\.pnpm\[email protected]\node_modules\trash\lib\windows-trash.exe P:\tmp\FILE_TO_TRASH

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:419:12)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:513:28)
    at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1091:16)
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:302:5)

The error does not happen if not in a virtual drive:

/v/Insync/Dropbox/p/tmp
$ trash FILE_TO_TRASH

/v/Insync/Dropbox/p/tmp
$ ls
windows-trash.exe*

Also the error only occurs after trash-cli version 3.0.0. (So my workaround is to use version 2.0.0)

Environment:

• Windows 11
• Git bash for windows (2.41.0.windows.1)
• Node v18.16.0
• NPM 9.5.1 or PNPM 8.6.2
