Java 9 has new method but in my case I am restricted to Java 8. I found Java Native Access Platform that has hasTrash() and moveToTrash() method. I tested it on Win 10 and Mac OS (Worked) for me.

static boolean moveToTrash(String filePath) {
        File file = new File(filePath);

        FileUtils fileUtils =  FileUtils.getInstance();
        if (fileUtils.hasTrash()) {

            try {
                fileUtils.moveToTrash(new File[] { file });
                return true;
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return false;
            }
        } else {
            System.out.println("No Trash");
            return false;
        }
    }

Don't confuse It is Java Native Access Platform not Java Native Access
