I need to create a script to delete an invisible file in a folder. The folder will be on a mounted SMB drive file server. I’m not seeing how I can reference the invisible file since this bit won’t work.

tell application "Finder"
delete (every file of folder "PathToFolder" whose name is ".DS_Store")
end tell

My first quick guess is to use "System Events" instead of "Finder".
