How can I delete the previous history state after the page is loaded using javascript?

Question

I would like to delete the previous history state, after the page is loaded.

This is a separate question from my other question; not merely an alternative.

If you're loading new page via JS, you can replace its location to use the same history entry:

window.location.replace(url);

See this answer.

Another way is to use history.replaceState.
