If I script this:

And then script this:
delete variable theArray[2]
I essentially get an array with entries that look like this:
A
C
How can I collapse (?) the array after deleting element 2 so that the array
only has two elements remaining?
A
C
The delete is fine; the problem is in the display of the results.
If you use:
put theArray[1] &"*"&theArray[2] &"*"& theArray[3]
...you'll get the empty entry for theArray[2]. The variable theArray
still exists, but there's nothing in that slot.
Building the output from the keys of the array will get what you want:
put the keys of theArray into tKeys
sort lines of tKeys -- if the order is important
repeat for each line tKey in tKeys
put "*"& theArray[tKey] after tResult
end repeat
put tResult
