Is it possible in drupal to delete a node without displaying the default drupal_set_message

Question

I would like to be able to programmatic-ally delete a node:

node_delete(N);

Without getting something like the following message when the page is refreshed:

Document Delivery Request Sather, Kinzer-Tevaris v. Smith, Death has been deleted

Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you call drupal_get_messages before the end of your script it will reset the messages queue.

Check out the documentation here.

Answer 2

For non-developers I created the Rules integrated "better messages" module, which adds the clean action. So if you want to do the same nicely, you can use the module.
