One thing to watch is that "every text frame of active document" won't give
you a list of every frame in the document -- it will only give you a list of
any that are directly on pages or spreads. So any that are in groups or
inline will be ignored.

So you probably want something like this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
 set allFrames to all page items of active document
 repeat with aFrame in allFrames
  if class of aFrame is text frame and name of fill color of aFrame is
"None" and contents of parent story of aFrame = "" then
   delete aFrame
  end if
 end repeat
end tell
