Just a newbie surprise.
I have tried an elementary script to delete temp files.
It goes like this:
---
tell application "Finder"
try
delete file "tempA" of desktop
delete file "tempB" of desktop
delete file "tempC" of desktop
end try
end tell
---
-->
tempA is deleted
tempB & tempC are not
I would try deleting a list of files. Or, do shell script "rm".
That works fine - and it really deletes files!

Thanks Emmanuel, but... could you please be a little less "cryptic",
and give me an example for dummies. :-D
Je ne suis pas Emmanuel, mais...
set p1 to quoted form of POSIX file (path to desktop as string & "tempA")
set p2 to quoted form of POSIX file (path to desktop as string & "tempB")
set p3 to quoted form of POSIX file (path to desktop as string & "tempC")
do shell script "rm " & p1 & " " & p2 & " " & p3
--no need for a 'try' since rm will just continue on to the next item
-boo
off to sleep while InuYasha is v-taped ^_^
