Isn't it every item of folder or every item or disk?
I've tried many variations on that line. probably tried that, too.

I'm trying to delete 'every item' of the folder without inquiring into its name. I suppose I could get a list of the items in the folder, then delete each item in a repeat loop. But, it ought to be simpler.
I have tried both ...
tell application "System Events" get every item of disk item (folderAlias as text) delete the result end tell
and
tell application "System Events" get every item of folder (folderAlias as text) delete the result end tell
Neither works.
