I stupidly made a file on the desktop invisible. How can I make it
visible and/or trash it?


The simplest way must be with Akua Sweets (tested):

set invisibs to the entries in (path to desktop) as alias without visibility

repeat with f in invisibs
set extInfo to extended info for f
set invisible status of extInfo to false
apply catalog info extInfo to f
end repeat

But this has the effect of making _every_ desktop file visible, perhaps not such a great result.

I'd prefer to run ResEdit and use the "Get File/Folder Info" menu item (File menu) and make visible only what you need (get info on the item and uncheck the "Invisible" box).
