It's because you are not working with the correct syntax and correct items.

So I experimented more. It seems that the correct syntax is ...

tell application "System Events" to delete disk item (itemAlias as text)

In other words, 'disk item' needs to be specified as a text path.
But when I looked at the System Events dictionary, it's not clear that this is required.
