I should mention that, finally having read the error message from System Events, I gave it what it asked for: a reference.

alias "Hard Time:Desktop Folder:DATAFILE.pdf" returning aFile
tell application "Finder" to get size of aFile
tell application "System Events" to delete (a reference to aFile)


This works just fine.

Moral: don't ask, just do what you're told.

Regards,

Nelson
