Something like this works here:

tell application "System Events"
delete (get disk item "x" of folder "a" of desktop folder)

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.

Then try by specifying more specific classes:

tell application "System Events"
tell folder "a" of desktop folder
delete files
delete folders
end tell
end tell

Class "disk item" often appears too generic for many System Events' operations.

Good point but four added instructions would be useful

tell application "System Events"

tell folder "a" of desktop folder

try

delete files

end try

try

delete folders

end try

end tell
