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.
Hi Luther,
When I read:
disk item n [inh. item] : An item stored in the file system
I understand that 'n' means name and I never thought that a name may
be other thing than a string.
Probably because I'm a mathematician, but I would have thought that
'n' means "number" or "nothing" (or "nonsense"). It would be clearer
if the dictionary said something like ...
disk item [text], path to disk item
Wouldn't it?
