I'd try something like this:

Move (or even copy) the file to temp items, then delete it, them move it back into place

tell application "iTunes"
   set myTrack to item 1 of the selection
  set trackFile to location of myTrack
end tell
tell application "Finder"
   set fileLocation to (container of trackFile) as alias
   set holding to path to temporary items as alias
 set tempHold to move trackFile to holding
   tell application "iTunes" to delete myTrack
 move tempHold to fileLocation
end tell

There is no way to remove a track from iTunes via AppleScript and subsequently keep its file, which is an option when you manually delete a track using the Delete key.


That's an OK workaround, and one that had occurred to me, but rather cumbersome what with all the moving of files. This is a bug with iTunes that should be fixed.
