WordPress, redirect user after clicking delete post shortcut button

I am working on a new plugin. I am dealing with a problem that I have outlined in the title. My intention is to redirect the user to the My Pages page after the user clicks the "Delete page" button.

Here is my code:

function custom_admin_bar_delete_link( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    global $post;
    if( is_admin() || ! is_object( $post ) )
        return;
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'delete_pages' ) )
        return;
    if ( $post->post_type != 'page' )
        return;
    $args = array(
        'id'    => 'delete_link',
        'title' => 'Delete this page',
        'href'  => get_delete_post_link( $post->ID ),
        'meta'  => array( 'class' => 'delete-link' )
    );
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'custom_admin_bar_delete_link', 999 );

function custom_page_delete_redirect( $location, $post_id ) {
    $post = get_post( $post_id );
    if ( 'page' === $post->post_type && 'trash' === get_post_status( $post_id ) ) {
        return admin_url( 'edit.php?post_type=page' );
    }
    return $location;
}
add_filter( 'wp_redirect', 'custom_page_delete_redirect', 10, 2 );

Thank you.

    Without thinking too hard about it, I would add an ID to your button and just write some jQuery to do the redirect.
    (The PHP: NOT tested)

    EDIT:
    Per the WordPress documentation, you should be able to add an ID:
    https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_admin_bar/add_node/

    $args = array(
'id'    => 'delete_link',
'title' => 'Delete this page',
'href'  => get_delete_post_link( $post->ID ),
'id'  => "someid",
'meta'  => array( 'class' => 'delete-link' )

    );

    The jQuery:

    EDIT:
    How are you adding the jQuery? You should probably save it in a separate file in your plugin folder (maybe in a subfolder named "js") and enqueue it in your plugin. The 2nd answer to this question would be a good place to start:
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/42641/how-to-include-a-simple-jquery-file-into-a-wordpress-plugin

    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('body').on('click','#someid',function(event){
        // window.alert('jquery executing');
        setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = "http://example.com/page/";}, 500);
    });
});

    Thoughts: I added a timeout, because WordPress loads slowly sometimes, and I’ve had to do this for other applications in WordPress, but try without and see if it performs without the timeout.
