Chri, which version of LC are you using?
My version 4.5 does not delete the itemDel, just the contents.
put empty into item 4 of tString --keeps the "/"
delete item 4 of tString -- purges the slash
-- this should work to make a shorter path string
replace "/" with itemDel in tString
delete item itemOffset("public.html", tString) of tString
--purges the item
replace itemDel with "/" in tString

set itemdel to "/"
put "" into item 4 of it
There should be no double slash then. That line removes that whole item.
