Explanation

Your script is basically correct, there is just a simple error that is confusing the local script. You've made a table for the item but you haven't defined what will be inside the table and you've implemented item:Destroy() which is actually wrong. You have to implement what's inside the player's Backpack and then tell the script to destroy it..

Problem

local item = {}      -- At line 1
item:Destroy() -- At line 6

Solution

The local script for removing the tool from player's backpack when clicking a button will be as follows;

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Define the variable for player

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("craft") then -- If statement to check
	   script.Parent.Text = "putted"  -- Changes the text of the button
	   player.Backpack.craft:Destroy() -- Destroys the tool in player's backpack
	   print("Craft has been destroyed from the player's backpack") -- Prints, you can delete this if you want..
	end
end)
