An interesting observation;

The following script will delete in a normal window and will not error with a CD.

tell application "Finder"
activate
tell window 1 -- clears out Finder idiosyncrasies
tell application "Finder"
set winTarget to target of front window as alias
end tell
set fileList to list folder winTarget with invisibles
tell application "System Events" to delete (every file of winTarget whose name = ".DS_Store")
end tell
end tell

tell application "Finder" -- used here and at end
set winTarget to target of front window as alias
end tell
set fileList to list folder winTarget with invisibles
try
if fileList contains ".DS_Store" then
delete item ".DS_Store"
end if
