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

[Dr. Michael Hailer]

(defun my/org-delete-subtree ()
  "Delete the current Org subtree without adding it to the kill ring."
  (interactive)
  (org-back-to-heading t)
  (when (yes-or-no-p
         (format "Subtree \"%s\" wirklich löschen? "
                 (org-get-heading t t t t)))
    (let ((beg (point))
          (end (save-excursion
                 (org-end-of-subtree t t))))
      (delete-region beg end))))




Best regards 

Michael

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!
