I think you want Delete97 (freeware). Here's a snippet of their info:

--------------------------------------------

1. What is Delete'97?
Delete'97 is for deleting files from the DOS box, in Win95 and NT 4.0.
It simply deletes the files and sends them to the recycle bin. In popular
opinion, this is what DEL command in MSDOS box of Win95 and WinNT
should have been.

[...]

3. Differences/Enhancements over the DEL command.
- As said earlier this program does not delete files permanently. It sends
  files to the recycle bin instead. This allows you to recover accidentally
  deleted files.
- As far as we know, DELETE'97 is fully compatible with the syntax of
  Win95/NT's DEL command.
- DELETE adds two new options /a and /v. THANKS TO MANY OF 4DOS users who
  suggested including a parameter to delete all files irrespective of
  attributes.
- Under NT, the DEL command accepts multiple file names as parameters,
  but under Win95 DEL behaves like the older DOS command. Delete'97
  accepts multiple file names/wild cards under both NT and Win 95. For
  example you can specify

        DELETE "C:\Program Files\README.*" Hello?.DOC *.BAK

  to delete three different group of files. For details try DELETE.EXE /?

4. Requirement(s):
- Any machine compatible with Windows 95/NT 4.0.

8. What does it cost?
DELETE'97 is absolute FREEWARE. Feel free to distribute. Please try to
send me us e-mail
