This is probably a real easy one,
I’m looking for a way to delete the entire contents of a folder, whilst also keeping specific folders / items from deletion.

Here's one way to get a list of such items:

tell application "System Events"
set dlist to items of desktop folder whose name is not ".DS_Store" and name is not ".localized" and name is not "Downloads" and name is not "temp"
end tell


Any help on this would be appreciated

!
