Redirect after front end deleting post

I've created a delete post button on the front end for a Wordpress site. It deletes the post fine but then tries to reload the post again causing a 404. Is there a way I redirect it after deleting to a specific url? This is my code:

function wp_delete_post_link($link = 'Delete This', $before = '', $after = '') {
    global $post;
    $link = "<a href='" . wp_nonce_url( get_bloginfo('url') . "/wp-admin/post.php?action=delete&amp;post=" . $post->ID, 'delete-post_' . $post->ID) . "'>".$link."</a>";
    echo $before . $link . $after;
}

Then on the template:

<?php wp_delete_post_link('Delete This', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

I think you are looking for the wp_redirect function.

$location = 'http://domainname.com/pagename/';
$status = '301';

wp_redirect( $location, $status );

exit;

Just place after your successful delete code.

How about running this function right after your echo:

header( 'Location: yournewURL.html' ) ;

Replace 'yournewURL.html' with the page you need to redirect to.
