Untrash with insufficient perms

If you try to untrash a file which needed admin permissions to trash in the first place, you get this error:

julia> Trash.untrash(l[end-3])

In Windows, you get prompted like this:

If you run Julia as admin, there is no error.

Trash with insufficient perms

Trashing an item that requires admin perms of course also errors:

julia> Trash.trash("D:\\unit 5 ssd benchmark.txt")
ERROR: TrashSystemError: PostDeleteItem: Failed to capture paths, recycle path is NULL. Item might not have been recycled?
Stacktrace:

Untrash an item twice

If you try to untrash the same item twice, it expectedly fails, but the error message is non-obvious and printing that error causes another error:

julia> Trash.untrash(l[end])
"H:\\unit 8 ssd benchmark.txt"

julia> Trash.untrash(l[end])
ERROR:
