    I'm trying to move file to recycle bin using shutil library. Following is relevant code lines, but I get kinda strange error. Both files are local, and I can access both locations on my PC. Why this error occurs? Because I run Main.py it from F:?

    import shutil
    # Path to folder where files should be trashed
    dump_folder = r"C:\$Recycle.Bin\\"
    file_name = "C:\\Storage\\\\statuti.docx"

    # Move it to storage directory
    shutil.move(file_name, dump_folder)


    Error message

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
