I don't think it's that simple - you would have to hook into the windows file delete first to prevent the "real" delete function. I know it is possible, but it isn't a job I'd want a beginner to get into - it would be far too easy to mess up completely!

If you must, then google for "Windows Hook C#" and "Hook File Delete" and start reading - but you have quite a bit of work to do first.

The actual "don't do it for real for an hour" is pretty simple in comparison!

Then move it, either to a different database table / folder (or just change it's status to deleted if it is in a DB) and timestamp it as "to be deleted at or after"
Then have a service which run continually, sleeping for 60 seconds or so at a time, checking if any files are past their sell-by date.
