Why bother with POSIX paths? Why not just:

That's what I was thinking. Or use System Events instead of
Finder. Using Finder puts the file into the trash; using System
Events deletes the file completely.
Interesting ... so I tried it. But, I found that System Events works
just like Finder.
The following script ...
path to desktop
tell application "Finder"
set folderAlias to (make new folder at the result)
end tell
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
delete folderAlias
end tell
simply puts the folder "untitled folder" into the trash.
Also, you may wonder why I told Finder to 'make new folder ...'
instead of System Events.
The 'make new ...' command in System Events seems to be broken.
