Assuming 'parent_folder' is a variable holding the parent folder object of
what you are trying to delete and 'id' is the id of what you want to delete,
I think this is what you want...

parent_folder.manage_delObjects(id)

>From what it says in the ZQR, I think you can pass in a list of id's to do
multiple deletes in one go.  You can find the ZQR here
http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR/zqr/normal in case you haven't come across
it yet.
