[emacs-berlin] Delete an entry from a list of orgmode tasks

hello everyone, quick question.

I can add and refile a new task with `org-capture` but there I didn't find a command to do delete a
task entirely
All I could find is `org-cut-subtree` which cuts the entry into the clipboard. It does almost what I
want, minus the clipboard part.

Am I missing anything? Should I code my own small utility? Example:

(defun my/org-delete-subtree ()
 "Like org-cut-subtree but delete instead of putting into kill ring."
 (interactive)
 ;; cut the entry
 (org-cut-subtree 1)
 ;; remove it from the clipboard
 (pop kill-ring))

Thanks!
