I want to override the default delete_queryset method in admin to prevent deleting last object.

    def delete_queryset(self, request, queryset):
        warehouses = self.model.objects.all()
        if warehouses.count() == 1:
            messages.error(request, "Can't delete last object")
            return False
        return super(WarehouseModelAdmin, self).delete_queryset(request, queryset)

The deletiion is working fine but along with the error message, "Successfully deleted 1 Warehouse.", this message is also being displayed. How can I remove this success message?

To anyone looking for a way to remove the "Successfully deleted" message, only way to do so seems to be to override the `delete_selected` action. A way to accomplish this seems to be: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59835462/1605873 – Sebastián Vansteenkiste Jul 31 '20 at 19:03
