I didn't, but you've inspired me.
Assume you're working on the file "document.tex". This script will move
to the trash all files in the same folder with the pattern document.*
except for document.tex and document.pdf.
It's a bit clunky, but it works. The TeXShop syntax isn't very good for
things like this, I find...

ATTACHED: Applescript to delete aux, log files etc from TeXShop:
--Applescript
tell application "Finder"
set texpath to alias posix file #TEXPATH#
set texfolder to the container of texpath
set texname_ext to the name of (alias posix file #TEXPATH#)
set texname to the do shell script "echo "& quoted form of
texname_ext & " | cut -d . -f 1"
set texfiles to every file in texfolder whose name contains texname
end tell
set files_to_delete to {}
set filenames_to_delete to {}
repeat with this_file in texfiles
if (the name extension of this_file is not "tex") and (the name
extension of this_file is not "pdf") then
set the end of files_to_delete to (this_file)
set the end of filenames_to_delete to " " & (the name of this_file
as string) & return
end if
end repeat
tell application "TeXShop" to display dialog "Are you sure you want to
move the following files to the trash?" & return & filenames_to_delete
as string buttons {"Keep", "Trash"} default button "Trash" with icon
caution
if the button returned of the result is "Trash" then
tell application "Finder" to move every item of files_to_delete to the
trash
end if
