what's wrong with my code, why doesn't this work?!

$hidden = $pages->find("template=cast, status=hidden");

deleteHidden($hidden, $pages);

function deleteHidden($hidden, $pages) {
	foreach ($hidden as $item) {
		$pages->delete($item);
	}
}

What happens when you run that code? The delete() method returns a boolean, try logging it to narrow down the problem.

Btw, you don’t need to pass $pages to your function. This should work too:

$hidden = $pages->find("template=cast, status=hidden");

deleteHidden($hidden);

function deleteHidden($hidden) {
	foreach ($hidden as $item) {
		$item->delete();
	}
}

Do these pages have children by any chance? In that case you should get an exception unless you move them away first, or specify that you want to delete them as well, using $item->delete(true).
