OS X locked down the Application folder a while back. I haven't changed the
permissions so it still asks for authorization when I try to remove an app.
This will vary by user. But also, when you delete an app, you are the user
that may have permission, but when the app does it, I don't think you're
the user any more, the app is, and it may not have permissions to alter
that folder.
I don't know if the applescript will work but it's worth a try.

Thanks to Klaus and Ken, I know how to address the Mac Applications folder.
But when I try to delete an app (which I take to be a folder of the form
xxx.app) by script, I get a result “can’t delete that file”. But as a user
-admittedly with admin privileges - I can move any app into the trash.
What am doing wrong?
