Script to update persistent list of Recycle Bin item directories then empty + script to 'cipher /w:' list then clear list, is it possible?

My goal is to change the 'Empty Recycle Bin' option(both in the recycle bin, and in right click context menu) so that it adds the directories of every item about to be emptied to a list, and then empties like normal. And then have an option on the Recycle Bin's right click menu to 'cipher /w:' all of the listed directories.

I need to know if 3 things are possible:

---

Making a script(.bat/.cmd/.ps1) that when run:

Adds the directories(including drive) of each item currently in the Recycle Bin to a list file.

When it's done adding items, it checks the list and removes items that have duplicate directories and items that are sub-directories of other items.

(From the start of the list file to the very end, when it adds items when there's already existing items and when it removes items, this script needs to maintain perfectly consistent formatting on the list. the same punctuation and white-space between and after each list item.)

Empties the Recycle Bin when it's finished adding to/editing the list.

---

Changing the action of the 'Empty Recycle Bin' button/context menu option:

'Empty Recycle Bin' would now launch a scheduled task that launches the first script with highest privileges.

---

Making a script(.bat/.cmd/.ps1) that when run:

Reads the list that gets edited by the first script.

Runs the 'cipher /w:' command on each listed directory.

Clears the list when it's done with all the directories.

---

Some things worth consideration:

I have 3 drives, but I specifically want to do this so it affects the "master" recycle bin on the desktop that has all deleted items in it.

My idea for the list file is for it to be persistent, ie. I would create it in a location that wouldn't change, and the scripts could both be set directly to the location of this file, so there's no need to incorporate any sort of code to dynamically change the working directories.

---

All I want out of this post is to know if these things are possible.

Assuming it's all possible I wouldn't mind some extra how-to info or relevant information resources if anyone is willing.
