I've made a script to delete files from a particular partition on a regular basis (every 2 weeks) but if an item is locked it won't delete and returns an error. Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated.

cheers

tell application "Finder"
activate
set locked of file theItem to false
end tell


hope that helps

er, further to this problem...the delete items script I'm using seems to sometimes work and sometimes not, and for no apparent reason. I have it set to delete files that are 2 weeks old, and most of the time it'll only trash files one at a time (each time the script is run which is at startup), and some files just stay there regardless. Any ideas?

cheers
