Where do files go when you delete them programatically with swift?

Question

Where do files go when you delete them programatically? I deleted them with this code, but the Trash for today is empty. Is it possible to retrieve them?

let filemgr = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
        do{
            let filelist = try filemgr.contentsOfDirectoryAtPath(fontFolderPath)
            for filename in filelist {
                do{ try filemgr.removeItemAtPath(fontFolderPath+filename)} catch{}
            }
        }catch{}

Using the URL related API of NSFileManager you have two options:

• func removeItemAtURL(_ URL: NSURL) throws

  deletes the item immediately like /bin/rm in Terminal.app and has the same functionality as removeItemAtPath.

• func trashItemAtURL(_ url: NSURL, resultingItemURL outResultingURL: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSURL?>) throws

  moves the item to the trash folder returning the item’s location in the trash via the inout pointer.
