Don't use Run NSAppleScript. It does weird things. Use Run Script with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (AS) instead.

deanishe, thank you for the suggestion.
 
I attempted the following in a NSAppleScript:
 
on alfred_script(q)
    do shell script "rm -r '/Users/path/to/folder/'" with administrator privileges
end alfred_script
 
and got the following error.
 
NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "Alfred 4";
    NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "rm: /Users/path/to/folder/: Operation not permitted";
    NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "rm: /Users/path/to/folder/: Operation not permitted";
    NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = 1;
    NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {22, 160}";
}
...which led me down the path of searching for "operation not permitted" and another post of yours about "macOS is basically a UNIX system with Cool Apple Shit layered on top." 🙂
 
...which, after confirming that Alfred has Full Disk Access (which it did), when I switched to using Run Script with /bin/bash allowed it to work without sudo.
 
So, I think I found my solution with your previous solution...and a little bumping around in the dark on my end.  🙂
 
Thank you again and have a great day.
