I'm pleased to hear that the suggestion of a simpler line isolated the
problem for you. :-)

Is there another way to check the creator value?
You could try going back to a repeat loop:
----------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to (startup items folder)'s files
repeat with theFile in fileList
if theFile's creator type = "NDSo" then delete theFile
end repeat
end tell
----------------------------------------------
- which is a bit slow. For a bit of a speed bump, try this instead:
----------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to (startup items folder)'s files
set delList to {}
repeat with theFile in fileList
if theFile's creator type = "NDSo" then [NO BREAK]
set delList's end to theFile
end repeat
delete delList
end tell
----------------------------------------------
