The following would normally be required, but it fails with an ImportError:

    from zExceptions import BadRequest

So you could try this instead:

    for item in itemList:
       try:
          context.afolder.manage_delObjects([item])
       except:
          continue

In general, TTW coding is very limited; you can use External Methods 
(a.k.a. Extensions) or Products to avoid this.
