If the record is locked by a workflow, you can change the context settings of the Lock Record action to not include your script type or set it to User Interface. This would allow your script to access and delete the record. However, it's important to note that deleting records, especially in a User Event script, is generally not recommended. This is because standard behavior of created records is to view the newly created record, and deleting the record that you are creating could throw an error. If you want to clear all previous entries in the custom record before creating a new one, you might want to consider not creating the custom record in the first place. Instead, you could create a Suitelet that displays a form with fields and do your update on submit of the form. If you are set on creating custom records, you could use a scheduled script to delete the records on a schedule. Here's a sample code snippet for deleting a record:

javascript
var recordId = record.delete({
  type: record.Type.CUSTOM_RECORD_TYPE, // replace with your custom record type
  id: '123' // replace with the id of the record you want to delete
});

Remember to replace

CUSTOM_RECORD_TYPE

with your custom record type and

'123'

with the id of the record you want to delete.
