   I have a plugin that updates the content of a post from other sources, but I want to delete the post if no new content is found. Please look at the code snippet below. I have annotated where I want to have the code [that I can't figure out]. Your help is much appreciated.

   <?php
   function add_content($content)
   {
       global $post;
   
       $new_content = get_new_content();
       if ($new_content) {
           // new content available, so update $content
   		$content = $new_content;
       } else {
           // no content, so I want to delete the post
   		$post_ID = $post->ID;
           // Code needed here, having got the post ID
   	//	-> To delete post & associated entries in other tables
           // 	-> And to redirect user to another page
       }
       return $content;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_content', 'add_content');
   ?>

   You help would be very much appreciated. Thanking you in advance.
